SWEET IS VICTORY
BITTER, DEFEAT
David Martin scored 3.5 points to share 1-2nd with
Anath Rangan. [I was paired with David in the last
round, playing the black side of a Bird's Opening.
I got a solid position but failed to break in the center
to secure a draw, and possibly a win. A good endgame
lesson, a bitter pill to swallow for me. But, David
played creative chess and congratulations to him!]
