Return to Form

After a year's hiatus, I ended my break with chess and returned to tournament play. I wasn't sure what to expect - the only chess I had played in the past 7 months was about 3 hours of streaming 3-2 blitz games. 

Fortunately, my first couple games were game/45, a time control I've always excelled at, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the White games I played.

Here's the first game I played since the same tournament in 2016.
