More From Dundee

I am pleased to say that Jan has sent me 3 of his games from Dundee.
This was Jan,s first OTB tournament and he was very unsure how he would cope with the longer time controls, as previously stated, it didn't bother him at all.
The games were never going to be draws!
I have also added another game from our Internet Champ!,David Cumming.
I hope you enjoy the games as much as I did:

A Giant Killer!

As promised, here is a game from the recent Dundee Minor tournament.
This game won David the "Giant Killer" prize.
The game goes in favour of both players on and off throughout the game but David gets the point!
Jan Barron-Majerik came in 2nd equal in his first tournament and is going to send me some games for the blog as soon as he has recovered!,he is more used to playing Blitz chess and was concerned he wouldn't do well with the longer time control,the opposite seems to have happened

More Games from Kai and David

I have another few excellent games to add to our blog,first is from Kai Pannwitz who played in the recent Lothians Congress.
In this first game v an 1800 opponent Kai was 3 pawns up but got into bad time trouble which cost him the game.
It is a good to see how he managed to get into such a good position:




Next up is another from Kai, again against a higher rated opponent.
I am not sure how it ended in a draw but must ask him :0)




As an "interval" I have a game from David Cumming who gives a demonstration of how to handle the Albin Counter Gambit!

The final game for today is another from Kai playing white against the Dutch Defense:




I am hoping next time to have some games from David Newton and Jan Barron-Majerik who are both playing in the Dundee Congress at the weekend, good luck to them both.
