Nationals Update- after two rounds...

Round 1
Tillson W vs. 568 from NY - win. 1-0
Evan W vs. 1241 NY - win. 1-0
Reid W vs. 961 VA- loss. 0-1
Kolt B vs. 419 MD - win. 1-0
A good start to the tournament! Only loss was Reid who played slowly but did not think through one move and blundered a Knight. Everyone agrees that players all seem underrated. In Reids game notation review his opponent did not play like a 900.

Round 2
Evan B. vs. 1605. TX. draw 1.5-.5
Reid. B vs. 883. KY- win. 1-1
Kolt W vs. 468. NY- loss 1-1
Chris. B vs. 689. TN. draw 1.5-.5
Tough loss for Kolton against a kid much tougher than his rating. Reid came back with a solid win against a kid who started strong but then began to blunder his pieces. Chris got a draw. Evan also drew against a 1605, getting to a position where neither player could break a locked pawn position. Ok start for us... Could have been better but tomorrow is another day. Generally the whole team is playing too fast...

An early morning tomorrow!!!
