It was good to play in Free February Chess Tournament this Saturday at UB. Even though my rating went up alittle, the games that I played were not without my share of mistakes. This was my first time using the MonRoi electronic scoresheet in a tournament, and I still need to get used to it. This is my last game. The knowledge of the King's Indian Defense (KID) four pawns attack helped me a lot here. Alanna mentioned that 15. Nxf6 was a mistake and better would be Bxf6. I would appreciate any comments you may have. I still need to learn how to use my Fritz- a generous gift I received from our good chessdoctor. (Can I have free ticket to Australia?)
