Hamilton Chess Club Six Man Swiss at Groveville, New Jersey USA Saturday , August 21, 2010.
Yesterday I played at the Hamilton Chess Clubs Quads in the Six Man Swiss, the top seed was rated 1400 who I was paired up in the second round as white and was very fortunate to win this game which allowed me take second place in the Swiss event and drive away with some prize money in my pocker.
My opponent was a ten year old rated at 1400 USCF and he had me on the ropes in the middle game but did not find the right moves to finish me off. Instead my opponet allowed some breathing room and I was able to activate my dark square bishop which assisted in a bishop and rook mate pattern to end the game.
