Today our house scored 3\/3! Our host Bruce Watson won an incredible game against Athula Russell, who is our fourth foreigner although he lives in New Zealand now. I was certain that he was busted but Bruce’s mate Fritz disagrees with me.Steven {Solomon} got off the mark at last as well with what looked like an easy win against the talented youngster Gino Thornton. All the games can be played over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this is Bruce’s house in the northern Auckland suburb of Beach haven.<\/p>\n

With surroundings like this it is easy to be relaxed when playing your game. Below is the view from the driveway. Not too shabby \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My own game was quite smooth. I have seen this kind of thing happen before from the white side against the Kings Indian. After developing all the pieces to good squares one needs to find a plan, otherwise black unravels and takes over the initiative. It is difficult to pin down exactly where white played the decisive error. For that I would have to understand the position better. Maybe 18.Qd3 ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
