Teamleague 37 - Round 7

I wonder if I've hit rock-bottom yet?

They say you have to reach the depths of despair and find yourself sleeping in the gutter before you're truely motivated to turn your life around. An investor friend of mine was rubbing his hands with glee a month ago "All these blue-chip shares are undervalued! The market has bottomed out! Buy! Buy! Buy!". The market has dropped another 10% since then and still no sign of a recovery. Where is the bottom?

I can only pray that this game is close to it. If nothing else it sums up my performance in both seasons of Teamleague I've played in.



7. Bxf7+ wasn't a surprise, I thought I'd be playing 10. dxe5+ Nxe5 11. fxe5+ Qxe5+ but even 10. fxe5 Nxe5 11. O-O+ (or Rf1+) Bf5 is pretty bad for Black.

Back to the old drawing board. Cue intro music. Roll the projector. Raise the curtain for the sequel... "Another 100 Days to Chess Improvement".
