****WIN****

There is many wins in this match and many great games . My first impression is that

Sulcik15 
mlongpre2 
Er_is_geen_hoop_meer 
Loudsmile 
JF_THE_BEST

All did play some great games except JF_THE_BEST game with black was loosing , it was a nightmare but I still win on time .

It is very interesting looking at the play style of each player , it reflect their ability and its consistent with other games they played before , while at the same time differ a lot from each player .

For me the most interesting is Er_is_geen_hoop_meer , who started both game by opening the king side pawn , weakening his king on move one , playing risky moves and still grab both the wins .

mlongpre2 had some good games tough using a more regular caro cann opening , he found the best moment to attack , tough his opponent seem not at the top of his play and made some bald moves .

Sulcik opening is very slow and he wait patiently for his opponent to make a mistake . I personnaly don't have this patience . In his first game , his opponent makes a blunder in the end game . His second game was more of just a center battle , again , his opponent makes an error and lost with a pin discovery of the rook in front of the king . 2 strong games there . 

JF_THE_BEST , I did play a great game as white opening with my traditional saragossa , I think the bishop sac did it , I love to sac the bishop in those corner where I can leave the opponent king unprotected , wich was a brilliant move , it was leaving the knight unprotected too . The other game was a fiasco I was lucky to win on time .

Finnally , one of our new member

Loudsmile , his oppening is similar to sulcik opening , but with a more casual approach , fighting for the center and double securing it with both the rook for a strong position . Then his opponent wanted to trade bishop , but Loudsmile saw a fantastic discovery queen to b2 instead of taking back the bishop , that move was winning and his opponent position was lost . His other game is more conventional and his opponent slowly put himself in a bad spot .

Now it is the time to declare a winner , 

The winner of the event is Er_is_geen_hoop_meer for his audacious opening and chaotic attack

But , I will , execptionnally , give 0.5 pts to sulcik for his 2 strong wins too .

Er_is_geen_hoop_meer +1 pts

Sulcik15 + 0.5 pts

congrat to our winner !

(I didn't used the computer analysis for this review except for my own game , so maybe my own analysis doesn't reflect reality and I don't know if there was other brilliant moves played )
