Re: Trip report - chess though
[ QUOTE ]
My friends of course immediately informed me that I had beaten a little girl, probably made her cry, and that they hoped I was very proud, to which I replied "eminently." [/ QUOTE ] Enjoy it while you can. A few years ago I beat an 8 year old kid and made him cry. Now he's a Grandmaster and will probably kick my ass next time. [ QUOTE ] Round 2: Playing the only person in the sectional I didn't know anything about, an older fellow from Minnesota. He had been fairly soundly beaten in round 1, but I had really no idea what to expect. [/ QUOTE ] Strange pairings up there? You won in round 1 but played someone who lost? [ QUOTE ] From BigBiceps: I guess even the internet is a small world. [/ QUOTE ] Very, you are not the first person here to recognize dogdog. In case there are any other chessplayers here: I will be going down to the Borgata on 6/30, then across to Philadelphia for the World Open 5-day. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Trip report - chess though
I am novice chess enthusiast. And, I was trying to play out your first game...
I think 13.hxg5 cxd5 should read 13.hxg5 cxd4... a typo? Or am I screwed up somewhere? -RMJ |

Re: Trip report - chess though
I played in a chess tourney before.
In one match I got beat in about 5 moves. That was embarassing. At least in poker you can say "bad beat" and move along. No such excuses in chess. |

"Strange pairings up there? You won in round 1 but played someone who lost?"
Was a round robin. |

Re: Trip report - chess though
You are correct; the other games I entered using chessbase so there should be no other errors.
