Round 5

Montelivet is quiet, now that the thousands of Bikers and their Harleys are gone.There are still plenty of people at the summer market, but one can move now.

So we did, visiting the local art gallery, buying some locally made food, and a few Opinel knives.

Round 5

As for my game, it was quite tactical. Another concept I try to tell my students is stop your opponent casteling if you can. He did manage to go Queenside late in the game, but that didn't help much considering the open files. If you're wondering why he suddenly resigned, look at checks. The most obvious example is 28...Ra8 29 Rc5.
