Enjoyed playing at 20th Henry Gross Memorial today. Finished 2 out of 4. (G50 w/d5) Played poorly in most of my games...but still a fun day.

Against better judgement I’ll post my games below

Game 4: Ok, what can I say?

It was nice to finish with a 15 move miniature, but the sting of game 3 is still fresh.

Game 2: Gotta give credit to my opponent here. He simply outplayed me from the middlegame on. I lost a pawn due to tactics and my opponent converted it nicely. My play was sloppy.pic.twitter.com/iisM0cMIeo – mjesto: Mechanics Chess Club

Quite a bit to study/take away from this tournament. I would like to blame my play on rustiness OTB, but some of my moves were just silly. – mjesto: Mechanics Chess Club

Game 3: This one hurts. I can’t even.

ANYTHING other than 29...Qg5?? and 30...Kh8????? wins. I didn’t even see my pawn was pinned until right before he took my queen. If you enjoy other people’s suffering you’ll enjoy this...

Game 1: Weird game with lots of mistakes by both sides. My opponent ended up losing on time in a drawn position.

Ok, won an easy round 4 game.
Finished at 2 out of 4. Not extremely pleased with my play, but still a fun tournament! If you’re ever in the SF area...check out the historic @mechanicschess!

Round 3

Wow. Lost a completely won game.
Quite possibly the worst blunder I’ve ever made in tournament chess.
Ouch. I may share the position where I blundered...but it’s gonna take a while for the pain to wear off!

Quite a bit to take away from these games so far. Hopefully rounds 3&4 are better...

Update after round 2: Ugh...the rust is thick!

Won my first game due to time pressure. (My opponent probably would have been able to draw it with my more time.) Lost my round 2 game. Blundered a pawn in the middle game and my opponent converted nicely in the endgame. – mjesto: Mechanics Chess ClubPrikaži ovu nit -
