You really think I'm a tactical genius or something don't you?

... our game was a total fluke, a gem, yes, but normal, no.

All I can hope for is that we avoid one particular opening (which I will refrain from naming). Every other opening I'm okay with.

I just think you can hold your own. And you are the only one out of this tournament that I have played, so maybe I'm a bit bias. Don't sell yourself short. Go get the win. But, we will have a reckoning, you and I ;-)

Actually, the game's in progress so I should be careful about what I say, but I think these tactical fireworks tend to be more exciting for me than him...

Nice opening choice. I'm using that in one of my current games.
