I came back to see the progress and saw that you never got your kingside attack going.<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you for the link. Do you have plans of updating the opening monograph you have on your website?<BR/><BR/>AndyADHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807828951870120811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288608344339782413.post-56651662191145976192008-02-26T12:06:00.000-08:002008-02-26T12:06:00.000-08:00I misplayed the middlegame after the Caro Kann ope...I misplayed the middlegame after the Caro Kann opening at North American Open and ended up losing.

In this example, there is only one qualification spot for the US Championship, which cannot be split amongst two or more people. In other tournaments, there is just one big trophy or special cup for first place. <BR/><BR/>If you don't like tiebreaks, how do you break the inevitable ties? There are computer tiebreaks and playoffs at a faster time control. Most people prefer a playoff, but what do you do if the playoff is tied. You can't go on forever, e.g. the playing hall closes or participants have a flight to catch to home. That's where Armageddon comes in handy.Michael Aignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166841797285152190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288608344339782413.post-43079792368410482802008-02-26T11:30:00.000-08:002008-02-26T11:30:00.000-08:00Mr. Aigner,I watched you play the White side of th...Mr. Aigner,<BR/>I watched you play the White side of the Caro-Kann at the 2007 North American Open.
