A win for Jamie this week on 10 points, with Daniel and Brendan both finishing on 4 points. Only 5 players though, so we didn’t all get the same number of games, which wasn’t entirely fair.

My first game with Brendan was a bit wild to say the least. I should have played 10. hxg5 (with my Queen and Rook taking aim at h5), instead I brought my Queen out, Brendan got his Queen to c2, and eventually dined on my a1 Rook, while my h pawn ended up forking his King and Knight. A crazy aggressive and reckless game. Running it through an engine, turns out it was -11.4 in black’s favour at one point.
