MTK 3,5-Vizugyi 2,5

I think this was the final score.

I contributed a win after winning a pawn in the opening and then had to 90+ moves to convince my opponent to resign.

It was quite cold at the old RAK club,around 12.5C. One of the advantages of being the home team is to expect this kind of thing. The regulation minimum temperature is 18C I don’t think this was ever reached.

The Captain bought the traditional chocolate bars for everyone and we also had cookies for extra strength.

Black is calling the shots with the better structure and more active bishop.

36.cb

Black won a pawn with a little tactical shot 36..Rxd4!+ and then converted in a long patient technical phase.
