Ontario Open - Update
Four of six rounds have been played in this year's Ontario Open here in Ottawa. As one of the bottom seeds of the "Master's" section, I'm doing quite well with 2.5/4. I have to admit that both my wins and my draw were fairly lucky encounters for me, and I could easily be 0/4 right now. My current performance is 2390, and my chances for getting a NM norm are looking very good (I believe 0.5/2 today will clinch).
In round 5 I play GM Sambuev, with a CFC rating of about 2700 (#1 in Canada).
Here's my round 4 game... maybe the only interesting one so far.
