Canadian Open - Round 9
My last round loss. I just was informed by Houdini that I missed a win... which is rather annoying.
Oh well... here's the game.
Anyways, for those of you who are interested... I finished with a final score of 4.5/9 and am expecting a rating increase of about 20 points. Losing this game cost me several hundred dollars, as a win would have clinched me clear second for the U2200 prize.
A little disappointing, but all in all a great tournament. A special thanks to all the organizers/directors/people who did stuff at the tournament (in case any of them end up reading this).
Until next time, this is Sam Shankland signing off. ... wait a sec... no it's not. :P
