This was the first real chess I've played for about two years. The tournament took place at the Gustaf Fröding hotel just outside of Karlstad, Sweden and during th3 27th to 30th december. Seven rounds played in a total of four days. Each game had a time control of 90 minutes + 30 seconds increment for each move. These are my annotated games from the tournament. Feel free to add suggestions or comments below.

The following are some mate combinations -- they're all from the book J. Nunn, 1001 Deadly Checkmates (Gambit 2018) -- that I didn't fully solve; not only at the first attempt, but the second attempt too left something to rectify.  


Black to move:


Position #1
