uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?201301315462
You can view games from the Wednesday Panera at Fred Spell’s website: eagleandking.com/4652.html
I have included my last round game from the Thursday Panera. I was hoping to play Josh Bloomer in the final round, but when he did not show up, I got paired with Gunnar Andersen. The match-up was a little scary because:
- He is good (I was 0-2 against him).
- He is lower rated (I lose more rating points).
- He reads my stuff (and has seen what I play many times vs many players).
So, I decided to throw a curve-ball and got this position with black to move. I found the best move in the game and got my 1st win over Gunnar (not counting blitz).
