Championships of Poland took place from 7th to 11th of November. I scored 10 points and took 7th place. I'm not content with my result. Expectations were much bigger. My problem was time management. I spend too much time in debut. We played on time 45 min+ 30 sec per move and I usually used 25-35 min to 3-5 moves and then there was no time for good moves ;-) Better result I got in blitz game on time 3 min - 2 sec per move where I took third place and bronze medal. I'm really happy about that.
I present a few games of these Championships.
1. Knioła ( 8pkt) - Dudkiewicz (10 pkt) 8th rounds.
I' had to win, to dream of a medal
1.ed4 fe5 2. dxf6 gxe5 3. ab4 hg5
4. gh4 ef4 5. hxf6 exg5 6. bc5 dxb4 7. cxa5 fe7 8. ba3 hg7 9. ab4 ed6 10. ab2 gh6 11. ba3 de5 12. dc3 de7 13. cd4 exc3 14. bxd2 bc5 15. fg3 ed6 16. gxe5 dxf4 17. gf2
I realized the advantage but unfortunately in this position I had about 40 seconds. My opponent play 17... cd6
18. dc3? ( Winning variant 18. fg3! de5 [18... bc7 19. gxe5 dxf4 20. dc3 gh4 21. cd2 X ] 19. gh4 cd4 20. gxf6 exg7 21. ef2 X ) 18... bc7?? ( 18... de5! =)
19. cd2? Here I missed winning variant. Scarcely after the game, I saw it in the analysis.
19. cb4!! cd4
20. ab6! cxc3 21. ab4 cxa5 22. fe3 dxf2 23. exc7 with winning positions.
Unfortunately both games I drew and the last round I didn't play for a medal. ;-)
