2015-16 Pittsburgh Chess League, Round 3

This month we were paired against the top-seeded team in the division. We were outrated on every board and I lost on Board 2, but our first/third boards recovered from losing positions to level the score at 1.5/3, and fourth board won the decider.

Positionally, my game was very ugly (and not very fun to play), so I've also posted the games from the morning G/15 quad. I won my first game against my match opponent, but lost the other two despite very good positions (all the ratings are quick ratings).

I love a good non-French.

I don't have plans against 1. b3, so sometimes I just do the same thing.
