I have posted the games from Round 7 of the 2006 Kenilworth Chess Club Championship. The highlight of the night was the marquee match-up between FM Steve Stoyko and NM Scott Massey. Though the game ended in 20-move draw, I think that members of the club who followed Steve's 1.d4 d5 Black Repertoire lectures will learn a lot here about Lasker's Defense to the Queen's Gambit. I finally won a game after a bad tournament, and did it against the French Defense of all things. Moldovan continued his winning ways against Wojcio (see diagram above), picking up the Exchange early in the game and side-stepping a number of tricks to pick up the full point. And Mazzillo quickly won a piece against Davis (see the first diagram above) with the same basic combination used by Pelican against Gadgil in Round 4. Read the blog guys! ;-)
