I thought I could not make it, but again I am wrong. The daily posting cycle did not break today and I am quite happy about it, even if it means that I was wrong yesterday. The game below was played in the first round of the Smaller Tournament. I am currently on third place and I have gathered 4,5 points in six games. Two games left and if I win both of them, I will win my group and advance to the next round. My opponent in this game, nemoz, is currently on second place and will not advance to the second round as only the winner will advance. This is because nemoz has no more games to play. Both of my remaining games are against the current leader of the group, Jessemw915, who has won all his other six games in this tournament. The game below was quite evenly fought and I think it was my opponent, who offered the draw and I accepted because I was uncertain of how to continue and also because draw against a higher rated player is something I can be somewhat happy about. And maybe even more importantly, it decreased my game load. Not by much, but every little bit helps. I have added one mate in one, three mate in twos and one mate in six today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
