These are my games from the T-giving Open tournament in Stillwater, OK. The games are rated OTB, game in 90/30.

 

Round 1

Round 2

Round 3

 
 

Round 4 (My worst game of the tournament)




Round 5


Round 6 This game was my only loss. The game lasted for almost 5 hours and it was about midnight when it finished and the TD was keeping score since we were low on time. After the game ended I forgot to get my copy of the scoresheet back. So this is as far as I can remember into the game and I will post the endgame position also


Round 7 1/2 pt. Bye

Round 8 1/2 pt. Bye

I will take a closer look.  I was interested in the last game as I'm beginning to like the french.  Did you use Houdini?   I love the smart aleck remarks.  He's always telling me I'm letting the position go down the drain and I can't get the bull off the ice.  ;)   Another insult: "Strolling merrily down the path to disaster" but the one that stung the most was "what a pity, victory was in sight".   I joke but I really do try to learn from the mistakes I make.  Very nice job at the tourney games!  Congratulations, it looks like you did quite well!

I use Deep Fritz 13 although I hear Houdini is better, I bought Fritz not knowing much about chess engines or that they were different in any way. But it also puts those comments in there, the getting the bull off the ice has to be my favorite. If you are interested in the French I'm far from an expert but you can ask me questions. Also my JUICE teammate Monofwestlake is trying to learn the French and is around your rating, he might be interested in playing you.
