  Also known as the Canadian Closed. I had 1 unplayed win (opponent had an emergency), 1 win, 3 draws, and 2 losses. However, from my only win in the tournament (against the second-lowest rated player), is a beautiful combination. | Read More

• Rest Day- WYCC

  After winning, I played someone with the same rating, and I was playing beautifully, only to blunder in time trouble. My opponent was an Isreali FM - Elect too. So then I had 1/2. I thought that wasn't bad, but it gets worse. Next round, I could... | Read More

  Round 1. Well, I was kinda jet-lagged, as we are 7 hours behind. I couldn't sleep until 3 in the morning (Turkish Time, 8 in Toronto Time). On top of that, Samsonkin kept me up by snoring... Then he woke me up at 9, and I was simply dead tired. H... | Read More

• Death in a Boring Fashion

  This is against a 11 year old child, Ashkan Azali, of Iran. I'd say this is more of an instructive game, as I kept my opponent completely shut out. This was punishment for committing an opening error. This, was my only win in the tournament asid... | Read More

• Is Roman invincible?

  A game that I managed to beat Roman in. It's not perfect, nor is it one of my best games. This was almost a year ago, of course, now a days, the rating difference is still about the same, but I would have a hard time recreating this. (I lack t... | Read More

• Are you ready to fall asleep?

  Brilliant tactics can occur in positional settings, such as the French Exchange, but, these fall-asleep lines can provide brilliant tactics. My opponent was former expert, and a year younger than me. He is very experienced, but chess moves speak... | Read More

• To Kill a Mockingbird

  One of my most beautiful games, white conducts an picturesque attack, based on positional values that exist within the position. It also emphasizes the importance of pawns in the chess game. Also, my opponent was a strong master, and had won Cana... | Read More
