Round 2 of the MCC Holiday Swiss tournament happened last night and I was paired with Alex Fauman, the youngest member of a chess playing family that are regulars at the tournaments in Natick. I’m not a good judge of ages, but I’d put him in the 6-8 year old range. Don’t laugh: Danny Angermeier, who is rapidly becoming one of the best players at the club, and I suspect will eventually be one of the best in the state, turned 10 last night….
This was sort of a strange little game, and I’m starting to think that a lot of these games that I’m going to be playing on the black side of the Modern Defense are going to look, well, not like your usual chess game. At least I got a win and broke my 3 game losing streak.
