Hourtin, double round, and a sad passing.

 

                           Julie Andrews

Sadly the deer we picked up from the middle of the road, didnt make it. This morning she was returned to the forest from which she came. Here she was looking quite ok still, but the next morning her injuries took their toll.

                      Double round day

Yesterday we had the only double round day of the tournament, so apart from entering my games into my database, and eating, I didn't do much.

I did manage to win both my games, although the first one was quite tense, against a promising junior.

In the second game, my opponent played two weak moves in the opening, lost a few tempi, and just when the difficult task of converting a pawn-up position was looming, he resigned.

The next few days are afternoon rounds, so there will be some time for tourism, and a chance to investigate chess game viewer options. For now, for the die-hards, here are the PGN's 😁
