Re: Montreal - Pere Noel tournament - some games

All 36 available games from the first 2 rounds are available at:

http://canbase.fqechecs.qc.ca/cbv/20...5_perenoel.pgn
http://canbase.fqechecs.qc.ca/cbv/20...5_perenoel.cbv

Two long games from round 2 will be added later.

Re: Montreal - Pere Noel tournament - some games

The two remaining games from round 2 - both instructive endings.

The first is a Q and P ending - White has 2 extra P's, but must get the K into play and avoid the checks.
The second is a pawnless 2 B's vs N ending - tablebases show it's a win, but it might take as long as 66 moves. Force the N to the side of the board, unsupported by the K, and then cut it off with the B's.
