LM Tennant vs IM-elect Pasalic
IM Feingold vs IM KuderinovSevan asked me to play in this tournament because he had a last minute drop out. I didn't really like the idea of getting crushed by a bunch of masters, especially IMs!
Someone claimed I paid IM Angelo Young to give me a draw. Here are the facts: 1.It was the first round. 2.We are friends. 3.I DID NOT PAY HIM 1 cent!! 4.I offered a draw, not thinking he would take it, but thinking it funny being the first round. 5.When someone doesn't want to play, you can't make them. Angelo could have played on. I'm sure he could have beaten me if he wanted to. He GAVE me the draw. Should I turn it down?
I had a few interesting games. I learned a lot playing against these guys!
There was one game in which I scored:
Baumgartner - Stamnov Round 8
Crosstable
