Just won my first corr game! (+1 =2 with 9 games left of 12)

I've been thinking about starting a blog and comment the games properly, but I might never get around to doing that...

TJ-Dorer,M
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Bb7 5.Bg2 Be7 6.Nc3 O-O 7.Qc2 c5 8.d5 exd5 9.Nh4 Nc6 10.cxd5 Nd4 11.Qd3 Ne8 12.e3 Bxh4 13.gxh4 Ne6 14.e4 Nd4 15.Bg5 f6 16.Be3 f5 17.e5 d6 18.Bg5 Qb8 19.e6 Nxe6 20.dxe6 Bxg2 21.Rg1 Qb7 22.O-O-O Be4 23.Qg3 b5 24.h5 Bf3 25.Rd3 Bc6 26.Rxd6 Nxd6 27.Qxd6 Rae8 28.h6 g6 29.Rd1 b4 30.Nd5 Bxd5 31.Rxd5 a5 32.e7 Rf7 33.Qe6 1-0

And if anyone's interested, here are the two draws too:

Wegelin,R-TJ

(Don't have a board handy? You can copy each game and paste at the preview page at chessflash.com which would allow you to play through them online)

Thanks! I had tried a couple of the links provided earlier but apparently not the right ones.

I think it is posted earlier in the thread.

Thanks.

Fels has 2127. He is one of the guys playing a tempo; he took 4 or 5 days for the entire game. Don't know what was exactly wrong with him, but it is his 7th loss. One of his two draws was against Lucki, who has the highest rating in the group.

MNb, proficiat voor de teams voor het eerst winnen! In het spel het lijkt alsof je 2100 en had hij 1900. :)

Btw, in the cross table what does the SB-column stand for?

My own games on Board 3 have been slow in developing.  It's been an excruciatingly busy few months at work, and—following along with Markovich's remarks earlier in this thread—I've been terrified about dropping unnecessary points and half-points for the team.   

No disasters yet, though I seem to be defending a disproportionate number of Exchange Ruy Lopez games (three out of six Black games).  After not facing the Exchange in more than two years, this has been a bit of an overdose.  And it's hard to get excited about some of the ensuing positions.

My bad, thanks!
