Thanks - definitely an interesting game. I was hoping I could convert that second one, but it was just a bit too much for me at my level.

I managed to get a nice 1.5 to 0.5 out of my two. Very enjoyable games!

Congrats on the win, thanks everyone who played and particularly who I played against, and huge thanks for putting in the hard work to make it happen Chipmunk

Excellent game going to Anti Septic which should be no surprise given our ratings difference, but really pushed me to work hard and that showed in the engine's evaluation of how well we played! Thoroughly enjoyed it 🙂

You too!

Great game Bjchan13 I really thought we were looking at a draw a few times. Very uncomfortable and exciting battle.

Bjchan13 and I are playing on the other oval table. https://www.chess.com/game/daily/517305389

Convoluted fun game that went to CursingFijian Well played!

Would be nice to get a list of the round 2 games to watch, with the Ding/Nepo match over now... 🙂 Here's our start https://www.chess.com/game/daily/511116203

I think the eval bar showing Nepo as an almost clear win was a bit misleading, with the engine's plan being pretty obscure for humans, even players like Nepo. But Nepo's, and Ding's, fast play there for a bit leading to those (x) moves was crazy to watch! (And made me feel better about my play 🙂 )

They've been great games!

And it's a draw...

Kick off on our first game https://www.chess.com/game/daily/504899451

I'm interested again

Great job! Awesome to see the tournament end with such a game!

6 hours left on their clock for this move 🙂 Tick Tock Tick Tock

Just had a look to see how it finished up, not expecting it to still be going, but that's vacation time for you... Great job CursingFijian! When I just checked, he only had 4 hours of vacation time left, so all over bar the shouting now 🙂

I've been checking in every few days and it's been great watching the last game play out. You've definitely got this!!!

Great games CursingFijian - all the best on the last game! What a close finish for the tournament! You've got this!

Just had a look through the game analysis, and it was very close throughout. Particularly happy with my play given that I was at a very time-intensive work event from Thursday to Sunday last week, and played the last couple of moves with covid brain-fog.

A win for me on the second game. On time, but when there's a day per move and the opponent is close to 100 points better (before our games), I'll take it 🙂 9:7 Let's do this!

My first game has ended in a draw, but was an awesome fight...

No matter what, I'm enjoying my games so far. Solid battles going on 🙂

If Hans and his coach are cheating, they're doing a great job of it to not have it picked up by Ken Regan... It's such an interesting space given the moves are all there to be checked.

Playing speed games rather than move per day, I see? 🙂 Well done!

LOL I keep that strategy for our games.

Thank you - always appreciate practical advice!

Thanks. I've been starting to factor positional advantage into my play more, and thought that breaking open the defences was worth the slight material loss.
