Toffs 11 September 2001 Memorial Tournament begins
Our second tournament has started. Officially, the name is "Toffs 11 September 2001 Memorial Tournament," but informally it may be called "9/11 Tournament" or similar. The participants are
Kevin LaMar,
Jeffrey Campbell,
Henrico Saeran (our newest member),
Justin Lewis, and
Alyanna Lanikova.
Everyone will play the other four players as both white and black. I feel that everyone involved has a realistic chance at winning, and so this tourney should be quite interesting. Good luck.

The Orangutang Game ends
16.e4 {Ok, this game is not exciting anymore. I have no attack. Playing as black against a computer isn't fun. I ran the rest of the game through a better computer, and (a) white goes up a pawn, (b) the pawn does not get promoted, therefore (c) the game is a draw.} 1/2-1/2 {draw accepted}
I think this exercise made me a better player. The last game I finished was my best game ever.
Meanwhile, we are planning for our next tournament. That will bring back some excitement.

The Orangutang Game, moves 14–15
Let's resume the game.
14.Nxa5 {As expected, white captures before I can move it to c7.}
14...Rxa5 {Forced. Any other move is a horrible mistake.}
15.Ba3! {I was somewhat expecting this move, but I didn't want to see it. The bishop threatens my knight on e7. Perhaps I should have castled earlier. My problem is that my queen is protecting both that knight and my a-rook. Therefore, my choices are (a) move the knight, (b) block the white bishop, or (c) move the rook.}
15...Ra8 {This move took some time to figure out. I thought about Nc8, c5, Ra6, and Ra8. Nc8 allows the white bishop to prevent my castling indefinitely. I considered c5 for a while, but I believe it fails because of the reply 16.Qb6. Ra6 pins my b-pawn and could force my bishop out of the fianchetto. Therefore, I decided on Ra8. Now, 16.Bxe7 looks like a bad move for white, because my queen could capture the bishop and then threaten white's pawn.}
