Right when player C played a4 against the Benko gambit, I knew you guys had done last minute preparation, so I played a different variation. You should've seen the look on his face

@Abhishek2, cool write-up, I enjoyed it!

@vikggg The opening preparation has little to do with the game, I even caught my last round opponent preparing against me! That didn't end well...

@hreedwork thanks!

@Abhishek, no problem. And I'm glad you noted that opening preparation is just a small part of the chess story. Maybe you could write a small 3-4 para article for the newsletter on that topic? Something about your experiences about how important (or not) opening prep is to your tournament result.

Yes, #3. He is around 2170 now, should be NM very soon. In the world youth game I played against him we were actually the last game in the entire room at the end!

He lost to a 1900 though in the last round.

Hey rising susaria I played him. I was winning an knight extra pawn endgame then blew it. I lost Horrible. I'm 200 points rated higher too.

lol what a fail. He's actually pretty easy.
