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:
