Reykjavik Open 2014 – The Norwegian Invasion (Round 5)
I know that the Norwegians were the first settlers of Iceland, but I never expected there will be an invasion during the tournament and I’ll only be playing them! Except when I played the girl in Round 3, all the other players were Norwegian!
Today was a deja-vu, another resilient kid, another long, 5-hour grinding game, 71 moves this time, instead of the 70 in Round 2. The only difference was that I didn’t manage to win. I liked how I played, I made something out of nothing in the Catalan, got a winning position, but in spite of the several wins pointed out by the computer, they were not that obvious during the game. So a draw. Frustrating.
Tomorrow’s game is at 1pm, so less time for everything. Hence, just a short entry now. And guess who I’m playing tomorrow? Yep, another Norwegian!
Nothing fancy, just a few remarks, trade N promote P this was a few moves before the N trade on g5
Haha, the Asterix does bring back some fond childhood memories! 🙂 Thanks for the link! Did Sir Gawain say something smart or something plain? No probs with the mispronunciation, I sometimes call myself that too! 🙂
G Jones did a brief commentary on your game vs Ekeberg, around 4:15/16 in the official broadcast. By the way they keep calling you KoloviK 😀
you need to teach those vikings the meaning of fear
