Round 2

There were upsets all over the place, starting with a surprise on board 1

I had to concede a draw in round one but did nothing to deserve a win.  Round 2 I was the benefactor of an unsound sacrifice(..Bxh2+) but still I managed to miscalculate it. Well I won so enough said

The tournament seems to be getting bigger but many of the faces are familar

I chatted briefly with another player from New Zealand(sporting a Texas Ranger T-shirt and cap)
