A simple mathematic equation, afternoon rain...plus afternoon before Depavali...plus DATCC is located just a stone throw away from Masjid India are equal to traffic jam...so it is no surprise that when the game begin at 7pm, almost half of the players are yet to arrive. However by 7.30pm, most of the players are here already.

Games
Of interest are Udani vs Jimmy (Jimmy lost), Haq vs Izz (Izz won in an exciting rooks ending, also the last game to finish) . Andrew , a pawn up, blundered a piece when allowing his opponent, Syed of 17 CC, a nice combination. Thanks Andrew :) .
My Game (Ladies Night)
Played against Haslindah. I was lucky to win. Honestly i was thinking of resigning the game on move 11. Yeap, move 11!
See below position. I am having a black pieces.
My black lady has ventured alone, shopping for a cheap c4 pawn, at my lady opponent’s territory. Ofcourse, after e4!, she’s dead and i can safely resigned and can go home to be with my lady and two girls and maybe watching some girlie TV show ( I am always out vetoed) ... Anyway, she played e3? Phew!!
Guess ladyluck is smiling to me...:)
Below is the full game.

(who said that - Tarrasch, or Lasker? My guess, Lasker)
Bro, I played the Black side of Benoni and lost after Greg took PxP (e6) and I played ..fe . Had to listen to his lecture about island pawns and weakening f7 square,, as if losing was not enough, he had to rub salt into my wound. BUT Greg was and is a great guy! :)
Hi Arshad
ReplyDeleteBen Pirc kang!
Hi abdooss,
If i am not mistaken, white's d e captured in Benoni is not good...sort of giving black a nice central pawns
Maybe my mistake in the opening is fail to utilize my pwan center with d5! (As pointed by Mas when he saw this game)
Yes, Greg is a great guy...even greater if he could actvely take part in more tourneys... Right, Greg? :)
