All part of the game

Just win the second one...!

 

[RalfM]

Alas, no luck in the second game. It was mine to lose and I think I tried to be too tricky about half way through, when I should have played safer and doubled down on my advantages.

 

[Chipmunk]

And a gift from Anti Septic 's opponent puts us 10-6 up. Going to be a close match!

What was the opening? British Chess players are very tricky - 1-1 you live to fight another day. I'm assuming you where Black 1e4 or 1d4?

Post the game interested to have a look.
