In Round 5 of the tournament I came up against the Kings Gambit. I am not as well versed in the Kings Gambit as I would like to be but I managed to play a strong opening taking advantage of a few opening mistakes by my opponent to come up with a strong attack. This was my favourite game of the tournament as there were some great attacking opportunities that I really had to think through in order to achieve the win.
In my last round game I was ready to try something aggressive and prepared to play a little risky. I however did more than that and played some very poor moves! For the second time in the tournament I blundered a Queen, but my position was already beginning to become quite weak by this point and it shows the importance of incorporating opening principles and theories into games! The opening is the Caro Kann. The game did not follow the mainline variation and I played some mistakes early in the opening.
