A Boring Draw?
July 12th, 2010 | Author: 
Well, I had another French Defence today against a talented, young, Swiss player. It was an interesting battle but unfortunately the game ended in a rather premature draw.
My opponent played a very interesting and unique idea in the opening which is well worth investigating. So far I have played 4 juniors out of 5 games which is starting to make me feel like an old man! Where did all those years go? (do not answer that!)
That leaves me on 4/5 and half a point off the pace, which means I need to up my game and finish with a big score to have any chance of winning the event.
Aly is doing ok but also need a big finish to become Swiss ladies champion. Anyway, fingers crossed, we need to earn our petrol money home! (Yes I decided to drive)
I have attached a video file of today’s game which can be seen below. I have also managed to download 3 photos off my phones camera to my computer. Basically we did a 2 hour walk up a mountain to find a massive waterfall, very nice!

Thanks for the great video. I was always curious to see your version of a quick “Grandmaster Draw”.
