Chicago Open Round 1

White: Eliana Faletsky 1293

Black: Dan Renauer 1211

1-0

 

Here is the game from the 1st round of the tournament. G/75 min each. I unfortunately got paired with the second highest player.  This girl was tough and I felt like I could not get anything going against her. I really struggle against the closed Sicilian and she played very well. Hopefully someone can give some insight on what I could have done better.  This was by far my worst game of the tournament.  I ended up losing on time on move 28 or so when my clock ran out.  She had only three minutes left as well!
