Game Of The Week
This week’s game came to me by email from Brian Wall. Renae hasn’t yet figured out how to send games in pgn notation, but she was willing to have this game published as it occurred before the dark times.
You see, Renae had just broken the 1500 barrier in Minnesota and had 3.5 out of 4 points in the Southern Colorado Open going into the 5th round. She was tied for the lead in the reserve section and had a good shot at the money.
However, sometimes things don’t go like we plan. She told me she doesn’t remember anything that happened after that point, but now she is 1460 with no extra money in her pocket. Well, I couldn’t help notice that I was in a similar position at one time.
Back in 2000, it was the Southern Colorado Open that knocked me under 1500 too. So, I thought that as a fellow victim of the Southern Colorado Curse, I could do my part to encourage Renae at this time.
After all, I have already published two of her losses this year. So, here is a look back at one of the good times when the good moves were as numerous as the stars in the sky. And here is hoping the good memories will carry you through the ups and downs that is chess life.
