ROUND five this afternoon saw me draw with a 1740/154 junior in a game in which I was winning out of the opening, soon went wrong in the early middlegame, and carried on pushing much too long in an ending which, it seems from inputting the game into ChessBase, I was completely losing.
I finally could see no way of making progress, so when my apparently draw-focussed opponent, for the third time, offered a draw while my clock was running, I accepted.
I have much to look at and think over from this weekend's games, but whichever way I look at it my tournament score of +1=3-1 saw me lose 14.6 Fide elo.
