This is my latest game from GameKnot and admittedly it went on a bit longer than necessary. Sometimes clicking that resign button is just something I just avoid because making the decision that I have indeed lost is not easy for me. After I have seen that my opponent is up to the task of converting his or her material advantage or other advantage into a win, I resign. When that time comes during a game varies a bit of course. The game below was played in the mike5972p's mini-tournament VII. This was the last game in progress in the tournament, so after this I finally got my first mini-tournament points. In the final standings I am on fourth place but because I ended up having the same amount of points as the player who finished third, I shared the min-tournament points with that player. Had I been clearly on fourth place, I would have received only five mini-tournament points, but because I shared third place, I received 6 points. This then worked out well for me, however, it did not work out that well for ledinscak, the player that finished third. This is because the shared third place meant that ledinscak also received 6 points, had he been on undivided third place, he would have received 7 points. There were originally 11 players who started this tournament, but because two players withdrew from the tournament, I did not get to play all 20 games and instead played only 16 games. Which might have been a good thing because otherwise the tournament would still be in progress... This post was named B56 Sicilian Defense: Kupreichik Variation in the past, but as I classify openings with Fritz 16 these days I renamed this post.
