A couple games from last week when I was absent.

Travis' game above, played against me, was quite remarkable.  At first play through, it comes across as a fairly simple win: Travis won a pawn early and then used straightforward tactics to trade down to a won ending.  I always check my games with computer afterward, and not surprisingly, there are almost always 2 or 3 clear errors.  Travis did not make ANY mistakes in this game!

Yeah, very solid game there by Travis.  Especially impressive since it's such an unbalanced opening in the Gruenfeld, making it (in my opinion) harder to play mistake free.
