Les continues to mesmerize his opponents with a unique brand of chess. Les sacrificied a tempo on moves 2-3. Young Daniel gave back a few tempii with 9. Ne2 and 11. Kh1 and suddenly Black looks good. The positioning of the N on e2 eventually led to a loss of a piece.
Van Wyk - Rutter 1-0
Blair errs with 7...Bf5 and has to find near only moves to survive. But the positional concessions are too much as Joseph exploits the opportunities with accuracy.
Khedkar - Liu 0-1
Jay dropped a piece after dropping a pawn. I can only guess he missed something.
Kong - Daniel Wiebe 1-0
I had a feeling that Daniel went wrong somewhere, but I couldn't verify my thoughts without silicon help.
After 31. Bd4

After a few more moves in the game the following position arose after 33. Bb6

It turns out that Black can sac the exchange and likely obtain at least a draw.
Jim Green - Czypinski 0-1
I wish I had looked at this game before playing in Fargo. More on that later.
Greenberg - Wierda DRAW
Harley had a great position after 17...Ba3

But for some reason he rejected 18. Rxb7 which wins at least an exchange, and played 18. Qd4 instead. Later, Harley blundered a rook, but hung on for a draw which I can only conclude was due to John's time trouble (?).
Gibson - Huynh 1-0
Black won a pawn, and lost the game in this miniature.

I've tried to insert a diagram using the chess board diagram generator below ... with no success.

If you have anything interesting (ie deserving a diagram, send me an email at chessmanitoba@gmail.com and I will check it out.
I didn't intend for the blog to be exhaustive, but just to show some interesting chess.
Alternatively, you could set up your own blog and go wild !
By the way, all this chess diagram generator stuff is a kludge. If one has a program such a Snag-it or SPX (which I use) you simply select a frame of anything and voila you have a gif or jpeg. I suspect there may be free versions of these toyes of programs.
