Game 6 – 02.03.2024 – W – loss

  • Opening correct-ish until move 12
  • 13. Should have Greek-Gifted with the idea of Nf7 → taking on d6, threatening Q+fork on h5
  • 15. Can think about the attack by bringing Nf3 with the idea of Rad1
  • 16. Surprised by this check
  • 18. Rook a1 should go to d1 or e1
  • 22. Bad move, should have been Qh5 → crumbles from there
  • Felt time pressure in the end, couldn’t find a good continuation after opening / attack fizzled

Game 7 – 02.03.2024 – B – win

  • Opening: Unsure what opponent was doing, Na3 made me feel like I had an edge
  • 6. e4+d5 is an option
  • 7. e4 with ideas of trapping the Ng5
  • 15. Taking with the other N would have been better
  • 19. Ng3+ missed best move
  • Found nice mate at the end
