The image below gives the results for round 1 of our June Mini-Marathon as well as the tentative round 2 pairings. Note that these pairings could change if we receive additional late entries or bye requests so I’ll confirm the pairings Tuesday afternoon.
We had some exciting games in round 1, replete with several missed opportunities to hold a draw or secure a full point, and all ten are now available in this Lichess study. Note that most of the game annotations are provided by engine analysis, though I added a couple comments in parentheses to one or two games. I plan to do this for all of our longer time control events so people have access to a club game archive, of sorts, and I’ll make PGN files available on the club website, as well (just look for the specific tournament link once the event is complete).
I also wanted to point out that we had a good casual/blitz showing last week–those who wished to play non-tournament games–ideally we’ll see as many people this coming Wednesday for more of the same. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime and I hope to see you at the club soon.
