I have been too lazy to input my games in the last few rounds. It started in round 5 when my opponent played until Mate. Also, the demonstration a few days ago delayed the round by a few hours and we got back very late…and to be honest I wasn’t\u00a0enthusiastic enough about demonstrating them to you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today I was motivated to at least find out how I only drew a position I felt was overwhelming. While looking for a computer evaluation without too much effort, on ChessBomb, I saw an “embed” button. Could this mean what I think it means? Oh, yes, yes it does. A simple copy&paste method of showing the games with little effort on both your part and mine ?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The last few days I have been minimising the discomfort of getting to the tournament hall and back. and have taken UBER’s or Rickshaws. This required taking a backpack and my tablet with me so I am able to bring you a few pictures of the tournament hall.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh yeh, there is also a great restaurant near the playing venue called Kailash Sarovar. I cannot remember anything better than the Pista (Pistachio) Milkshake I had there. The Palak Paneer and Garlic Naan were first class as well.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Back to the venue.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is a nice hall, and all or most of the games are broadcast live. If there were just six inches more room between the boards, at least enough to fit the scoresheets…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is ample space for parents outside the playing hall. Food, drinks, and chess stuff is for sale at very reasonable prices.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Parents are allowed in before the round starts but are then asked to leave. Good move India!<\/div>\n

Now to the last few games.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Round 5<\/b><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
I played a talented young girl who had some good results. Am also not sure where she went wrong. By the time we got to the ending her position was\u00a0difficult. I have noticed that a few of the Indian youngsters play until Mate. Maybe there is a coach around that advocates that.<\/div>\n
