Puzzles - 4/5 (rushed the first one got it on 2nd attempt) +44
Daily Game sought and started 21:38 opponent 906
First 15/10 rapid game @ 800 I was given the black pieces against an opponent rated 940. The 31 move game was a weird one - Van't Kruijs Opening it was named.. I wont go into much detail for the first or will I analyze but I felt nervous - perhaps it was because it was the first of the series and I was playing black, I didn't like the opening however after many piece trades and being behind all game I some how managed to advance my King, restrict the opponents position with my pawns and get my last remaining rook into dangerous territory - the game ended in Abandonment from my opponent with plenty of time on the clock. Lucky. +22
