8. Kevin Bonham v justaknight [1-0]

[Kevin Bonham]

Thanks for the game. I agree my king cannot be stopped. I thought I was very much on top right out of the opening but I was having more trouble than I expected making it stick and you were putting up good resistance. However I was surprised when you did not play 33... (instead of 34...) Bd8. According to my analysis using Fritz, 33...Bd8 would have given me some issues and cut my advantage (looking several moves ahead) to about 0.8-0.9 of a pawn. (It had been as high as +1.6 at some stages.)

Good luck for the rest of the tournament.

I've been surprised by this in a couple of games in this tournament.

Thanks for the suggestion Kevin, I will analyse this and all the other games thoroughly after the tournament finishes.
Cheers
