Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

Yeah I just checked that crosstable report and it has me losing to Zachary Dukic in round 2 when I actually got a draw against someone completely different. And my round 1 opponent was Rolando Renteria, not Alejandro Renteria. I noticed a few other mistakes with the results of people on my team as well.
Overall though it was a fun and well run tournament. My team and I (McMaster) enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully the results get corrected though.

I thought there was something wrong with your 2193 performance rating! Just kidding :)

Yes I thought that seemed fishy, because I beat Daniel Zotkin, not you :)

[Daniel Coren]

Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

Mike I think you may be right; I was expecting a performance rating closer to 2600. 2193 sounded very low :)

Nah but the guy I played in Round 2 was a sub-in who said he was only playing 1 or 2 rounds. We agreed to a draw at the end of the game (this was on board 1), but he didn't give me his full name - only his initials 'R.M.'

Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

And that round 2 match was McMaster (us) vs KW Extras.

Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

Found the scoresheets, thanks!

Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

An interesting game for the KW Active that I played in the final round.

After 24... d5 the game is lost, but after a simple 24... f5 I have equalized. Despite losing this game, I learned from that if you put up enough of a defence, you can survive those kingside pawnstorms :D

[Mike Ivanov]

Re: Kitchener Team Tournament - report

that was a nice game but you can't really judge something that was played in a 25 minute time control the same way you'd judge something from a real tourney. Good point though about pawn storms
