\n Well folks, today did not go exactly as planned \ud83d\ude42 I was expecting d4 and decided to react with a surprise of my own, but something I new nothing about. This explains my “novelty” Qg4 on move 9. Correct is the natural Nc6 but I was reluctant to play it, being worried about 10. Nb5. It’s not as scary as it looks. My next mistake was not playing the natural 12…Be6 because I didn’t want to give my opponent the two Bishops and a small edge and instead played the ambitious (weak) Ne7. Now my position was difficult and one miscalculation later (18…f4) it was all over. Gotta give credit where it’s due, Christopher played solid, good moves and calculated well.
\nSo tomorrow I am white against Daniel Gong, one of the young norm aspirants. A bit more effort is required, both before and during the game.<\/p>\n
