A good start to the September club tournament

By Steve | Published: September 5, 2007

After some atrocious games in July and early August, I decided I needed a break. No club games (or blog posts) in August.

For the September club swiss I decided to play up a section, in the Under 2000. I had a nice upset victory in round 1. It seems like mostly I post my losses, so here’s a win for a change. The comments are intended to reflect my thoughts during the game. I haven’t had a chance to go over it in detail yet.

    The comment on move 32 should have been “Allowing the bishop to land on e4 uncontested would have been fatal.”

    Nice game. In the analysis after 17. … Bd7, after 19… Qe7 there is Qxc8. But even if black does not play Qe7, I think black is lost in this line.

    Off topic: Pressing tab on the forms for comments behaves strange. If you press tab from the Name text box, it first cycles through all the Name boxes in the page before going to the Mail box. This is in firefox.

    Thanks, Navan. When I get a chance, I’ll look into the tab ordering issue.
