Warwickshire Open 2020 Second round loss.

A good way to improve your Chess is to analyse your own games and publish them in some way. That's really the point of this blog. Whether anyone actually looks at the games is immaterial to me. However, as you can learn most from your defeats, here is a cringingly painful loss I suffered at the weekend in the Warwickshire Open Championships. I should have won, then lost then finally drawn the game, but I have learnt a lot from doing this. Hopefully it will help me improve. I finished the tournament in 9th place out of 20 players with 2.5/5. I will gain rating points from the result and had a couple of nice wins on the way. Here is the game, warts and all played on 22nd February 2020 in Coventry.
