<<#11 Ram LIII 1990.12.08 -- #13 Phi Kappa Blanca XXXV 1991.02.02>>


 

  • Tournament #12 : Ram,  1/12/91
  • UNC Student Union, Chapel Hill, NC
  • TD:  Robert Singletary
  • Section:  U1400
  • Time Control:  40/90, G/30

 

Games in the bottom section can be a crap shoot at times.  My first round opponent here was clearly new to the game.

 

Round 1, Game #31



 

I not only got off to a better start in this game, but I absolutely demolished my opponent.  In the final position, he left the tournament hall and remained gone for an unnecessarily long time (face it...any amount of time in this position was unnessesary).  Anyway, after 10 or 15 minutes, I started wandering the student union hoping to find him.  It wasn't long before I did find him...in the arcade.  I asked him about the game and he said "oh...I resign."

 

Round 2, Game #32



 

This one ended up being pretty wild, but I was on the bad end of most of the tactics.  Especially after 18.gxh3?

 

Round 3, Game #33
