Chess Pundit

'll be absent for a couple of weeks. I'm getting married on Saturday. In the run-up the wedding, I've been awfully busy, so my free time to chess blog, has diminished.

I hope to be back in full force in a few weeks. I certainly have some games to be catching up on.

I played in the Open section of a tournament this weekend. It started off good, with 1.5/2 games. My next two games were long tough battles, which I lost. I was happy to finally get white again in the fifth game, but with little break from the morning game, my mind was absent and a made a blunder without thinking about the move. I'll post the games when I have time.


Game 1
Draw versus 2100 as black
Game 2
Win versus 2015 as white
Game 3
Tough loss versus 2105 as black
Game 4
Tough loss versus 2155 as black
Game 5
Embarassing loss versus 2000 as white.
