Sorry for not being active for the last two weeks. I have played two tournaments in a row, Zagreb and Zadar Open, 18 games total. I wanted to focus on my play and my preparation. I had planned to record daily at first, but have decided against that eventually. I think it did help me play better chess.
This is the round two game from Zagreb. I faced a lower rated opponent in the QGD. My second d4 game ever!
