{I stepped in with the abscence of Nathan Miller from our competition and
played as a non-scoring reserve in order to give LifeWithoutChes a third match
in the series. Me and Nathan are comparable strength so it seemed fair with
William Harkins having won the competition and soon to be recieving a trophy.
Now Alexander aka LifeWithoutChes was playing to make up third place and with
a vast improvement hes made I wouldn't bet against him beating me 10-2 he
needs to do to get in third spot but the future is deffinetely in the hands of
the youngster either way as he is approaching 2000 standard pretty quickly.} 1.

playable.} 1/2-1/2

because Nathan did not score any defaults and LifeWithoutChes did score 3 in
that case, he will lose out to Nathan on discount default points, which is the
first of the tie-breaks. A win will see him pip Nathan for 3rd with 12 points
but a loss will mean the youngster will finish 4th for sure. Sorry Nathan I am
trying my best against the tide of genius. Its fair to say Nathan would have
struggled against the youngster, as well, which would have put the position of
the winner in even more doubt than it was with Nathan withdrawing. We have a
worthy winner of the grand prix in William Harkins but I doubt he would win
again against the improved youngster.} 0-1

{The youngster was under the miss appriation that if he lost the match he
still had a chance of 3rd due to myself not being clear. Thus in a probably
drawn position he turned down the draw and gave up his rook to 'continue the
match', but only a win was good enough for 3rd spot for him. He explained this
point to me afterwards why he gave away the Rook so even though he resigned,
in the end position, I agreed it was a draw afterwards as I wanted an end to
the slaughter and he was upset he couldnt get 3rd. This is the first game i
have won and drawn at the same time.} 1. e4 d6 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7

according to LifeWithoutChes he made this move only because I said If I win
the match continues. It does but he no longer has a chance at 3rd spot. The
game was even upto then so I agreed a draw, even though he resigned. How an
american can possibly think throwing a match would be better than drawing is
beyond me. But I believed his story so I agreed a draw postumously. The match
thus finished 6.5- 2.5 to him and well played to the vastly improving young
genius.} Bxg4 1/2-1/2
