Commonwealth Chess Championship 2017 Round 7.

I thought I could save myself the work of entering my game by copying the pgn from chessbomb.come today but no such luck. First I'm told I have to register, then when I
do that I'm told only premium can download pgn. Sigh. So again I had to enter the moves into Scid on the go and again cannot save the result. Anyway, I drew in case you are wondering. My opening was some preparation which I had largely forgotten.

I got a playable position and got bluffed out of taking 22...Bg2 which stockfish likes. Instead I thought I could press a risk free slight edge by swapping rooks but my bishop pair never got going and I had to defend a slight unpleasant ending for a while. Then he overpressed but not enough to lose, not against me anyway.

I am happy to have survived with black against one of India's most promising talents.



I'm fairly certain to get another favourite tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for your messages of support 🤗
