Paul B vs Geoff B. 0:1
Paul and Geoff settled into a exchange slav defence for this game. Both players played well, however by the Bishop vs Knight ending Geoff had worn Pauls stamina and he blundered a knight fork, losing his bishop and consequently the game. https://www.chess.com/a/23aoUginS9tJa

Reza D vs Geoff D. 1:0
Reza and Geoff's game featured an open Sicilian where Reza as white was able to attain some positional plusses that led to black resigning on move 25. https://www.chess.com/a/fkV1UwbL9tJa

Zoran B vs Geoffrey G. 0:1
Zoran played e4 and Geoffrey issued the somewhat rare schliemann/jaenisch gambit. Geoffrey showed his ability to play accurately and Zoran was overcome and resigned on move 40. https://www.chess.com/a/28jx7RQAJ9tJa

Mio R vs Rob D. 1:0
Rob played a pirc defence against e4 and Mio took the lions share of the centre in the opening. Mio opted to castle queenside on move 11 and both players began their attacks. White managed to crack blacks king position first, and in doing so opened Robs king up to a decisive barrage of checks. https://www.chess.com/a/3BZBaTmKt9tJa

Rodel S vs Sagar G. 0:1
As white in this game, Rodel played in an aggressive nature and put immediate pressure on blacks kingside. Sagar, not being one to buckle under pressure showed depth in his defence and did not allow Rodel any advantage. At the time of writing the analysis for this game may be incorrect, but I am hoping to correct it with feedback from the players. Here's the game anyhow. https://www.chess.com/a/gc24dPgz9tJa
