Good game.  Would have been a bit better if I would have pulled it out at the end

Nothing really.  It was just a close game.  I had his queen under pressure early but he got out of it and took the lead in the end game.  We were both down to 1 rook and 1 bishop (opposite colors).  I had double pawns and my bishop was stuck near the side of the board so he kept picking off my pawns.  I held on for as long as I could but he never made any mistakes I could exploit and he just won through attrition.

My bad - I’ve been moving a little slowly.  Started a new job so been super busy.  I think we could probably finish today if shuke is available.

I always try to give everybody 3 games at white and 3 at black. I wasn’t able to do that for everyone this time because of the matchups. If you’re one of those who had 4 games at black or white, I apologize.
