Round 6

 The Phar is far

Another day, another sight seen. I had been here before and don't remember the lighthouse being quite so far away. It was a bit of a long drive for not much. We had an average lunch at a tourist trap and then drove back. Unfortunately, summer still hasn't arrived this year, so the normal activity of going to the beach every day is not as enticing.

Round 6

This game confused me somewhat. It seems that the plan of Nb5 is legit, but I still do not understand it. More up-to-date players told me that it's good and that strong players play a6 to prevent it. I just developed my pieces, castled, and according to stockfish, got a slightly better position out of the opening. 

I checked the game afterwards with stockfish, and neither of us made any big mistakes and the game fizzled out. Can't complain about the draw.

So now I'm playing a German player with white. Scoring is desirable :-)
