  • Beginners Tournament IV: Gioqw

    My last matching of the round-robin group, and we split wins as white.

    Game One

    Game one was excellent (I lost), I flagged a number of key mistakes in my review (too many!), and Gio held onto their cap for some time to cause me trouble when it finally came down.

    Game Two

    Game two was over quickly to an early missed threat. Not a whole lot of notes to it, but I liked the position I’d built for myself as quickly as I had. Black was a bit scattered, and I think I could have kept pushing the momentum on through the mid game if we’d not ended as quickly as we did.
