[Serge Archambault]

3 of us are from the St-Jérôme chess club, in Québec. Not the best time of the year for vacations in Portugal, but it should be fun anyway :-). As far as I'm concerned, I'll be VERY Happy to see lots of friends I haven't seen for over a decade. Jean-Luc and Louis are there for the "international" experience :-). Contrary to what is mentionned, Jean-Luc doesn't have a 1800 rating (even his highest FQE rating has never been that high). There is a very decent chance we take some byes and play tourists while there. So far, Fatima, Sintra and Faro are on my plans. It has been agreed that I would write an article about the event in the March issue of the FQE magazine.

I’d love to see your postings about arrival, touristing and playing, on this thread, if they didn’t clash with your FQE agreement.

Final position



Is Black irretrievably lost here??

[Hugh Brodie]

There has to be an error in that game, since 16. Qf6 forces mate. Possibly Black resigned before White made his 16th move, and White started replacing the pieces before announcing to the DGT board that the game was over.

Final position

[Hans Jung]

For Scandinavian fans Kevin Spraggett played an interesting game. Now the computer didnt like Blacks position (but if he had changed move order with h6 before e6, better evals) but after White missed h4 Black sure had fun (I guess) especially the queen maneuvers and Q+N at the end and the hamstrung white king position. I also enjoyed the humour for White in the endgame position above (tripled pawns and passed C-pawn and black doesnt have any good moves. Kevin still can play great chess.
