#537 Summer Tourney – Round 7

By master

Ian Mangion, Mark Kernighan & Greg Tomkovich won to remain 1-2-3. Don Carrelli split a pair of games & now is clear 4th.

I played a simul & moved into a tie for 5th (with Max Sherer) by stealing 1.5 from 2 lost positions. Here’s a highlight :

Pawlowski-Moldovan
After 32.Qg4?

Tripled on the g-file, White threatens 35.Rg8 +-. But I found 34…Rg3!! -/+ (interference theme/fork), offered a draw & Dave, with just 33 seconds left, accepted.

Moldovan-Pawlowski
After 32…Rg3!!
1/2-1/2
