Hóember Chess Blog: June 2008

Because of having the worse Buchhholz, I came in only 2nd (+7 -1 =1) after the 9th round of this 4-day open tournament for sub-2200 players.
All my games are analyzed with an engine (i.e. Rybka 2.3.2-w32, mostly) and downloadable from the link above. (The entry title above is a link.)
As for the dropped 1.5 points, there were sleepless nights again. There was a time during the tournament when I had to ask somebody for a place where I could sleep for an hour or two before the next round... Usually it takes quite an effort for me to fall asleep at usual hours, especially when I must sleep. (Sorry for my bad English, I am beginning to feel I have to practice even more.)
Unfortunately, day one of this event became a nightmare for me (at least, as for the quality of my game after a certain point), but this time thanks to my opponent. He kept speaking to me during the game, even when I was to move, we even had a quarell about it
I could name only a few games in which I didn't mistakes that could have proven faithful against stronger opponents: the ones against Hegedűs (round 3), Solymosi (r5), and Ress (r7). But when I didn't, my opponents did.

Selected game(s) of mine:
