I beat a 1941 with black in yesterday's eighth round of the U2000, so I was expecting quite a tough opponent today, but instead got an over-achieving 1797.
By beating him - in 12 moves! - I finished on +6=1-2 for a Fide rating gain of 32.6 elo, and should pick up some prize money at this afternoon's closing ceremony.
Meanwhile, here is an early-morning photo of the town's outdoor chess set.
Not only are the pieces left out overnight without fear of vandalism, but they are correctly set up |
