Update on CC Events I'm Playing

At ICCF, WS/O/109 continues slowly. I have two games left to complete.

In Owens - Kaspschak, Mrs. Kaspschak played a Slav in response to my QG and at move thirteen is a piece down. Needless to say, I am confident of obtaining a full point in this game.

Owens - Marcin has less than twenty moves in a Queen's Indian Defense.

Also at ICCF in WS/O/120, there are no games completed. I have decided advantages in two games and the others are at least even.

As White:

In Owens - Stenseth, we are in the late stages of the middle game of a QGD: Charousek (3...Be7).

Owens - Lynn is another Reti that transposed to a Sicilian with a Maroczy Bind. I am confident of a plus score in this game that is about to enter the end game.

Owens - Ramsden is a Reti still in the middle game and being contested.

As Black:

Ciklabakkal - Owens is exiting the middle game in an off beat Caro Kann Two Knights where I think I have a very real advantage.

Gantar - Owens is a Classical Spassky variation of the Caro Kann and is in the middle game with no decided advantage for either side.

Sanchez Carmona - Owens is a Caro Kann Gurgindze variation where I tried a new (to me) idea. It is still in the late opening.

Over at ICC I have submitted entries for several events including a Swiss and a Seven Player Round Robin.

In the 2007 Quad 03 I have won three games and am confident of wins in at least two others and no worse than a draw in the last game. I should be able to finish first in this event.
