I am playing in this tournament this weekend.
When I first started playing again in 2011 this was the first tournament I played in. I went 5-0 to win the Reserve Section.
So this tournament has always been a special one to me as a result.
Yesterday I won my first game, lost my second, and then took a bye in round three as I am making the 75 mile trip back and forth to save a few bucks.
I’ll post the games over the next few days as I get a chance to go over them.
One thing is for sure though…I’m changing my repertoire as White against the Slav.
I played Edgar Talayko at the SWCC in a game a couple of weeks ago and I played the Exchange Slav. I’ve been sick of this though. So yesterday I played Susie Ulrich and I played 4…e3.
But I’m going back to a more main line approach.
Til Next Time,
