Brilliant stuff yesterday, just enjoyed looking through all the games. Everyone playing 2500 or 2600 GM's. Good to see everyone getting on the scoreboard already.
Board 1 - Was fascinating after his exchange sacrifice and his opponent was only to happy to take a perpetual check draw in the end game.
Board 3 - Alan defended rock solid then pounced when he saw his moment. He must have been massively dissapointed after yesterday's result, so to come back like that, fair play!
Board 4 - Another exciting game, looked like Jonathan got forced into a series of exchanges leaving him with 2 bishops + rook v the queen + knight. He battled hard, and his opponent also took a perpetual check draw.
Anyway my amatuer commentary aside, I really recommend a look at these games. Expecting more of the same tommorow.
