Update on CC Events I'm Playing

Starting with ICCF, in WS/O/109 things have not changed much. I'm still in third place with 2.5 points, one point behind the leader Florian Pötz who has 3.5 points, one of them taken from me. My games with Mrs. Kaspschak and Marcin Deren have not changed appreciably, although there was a brief flurry of moves as Deren narrowly beat the second time control.

In WS/O/120, there are four results to report. I have wins against Bret Lynn and Metin Ciklabakkal and draws against Jan Gantar and Jim E. Ramsden. Currently I am atop the points with three points, however, that is a function of my having more games completed than the others. Four more games must be completed before the finished games may be published.

Over at ICC I have another win to report in 2007Quad03 as Brian-E resigned FortyShorty - Brian-E just after my last update. I'm in the process of looking the game over and may post it when I am done. It opened as a Reti and I was able to win a pawn at about move 25. We moved into a Rook+Bishop Rook+Knight endgame with White still a pawn up which eventually proved Black unable to stop the Pawn from Queening.
