5.5/6 with the sole draw through my flag falling just before I mated. It was a weak field however - only 3 opponents were over 100. This is the "drawn" game while I wrote moves. It's typical of my games, won, drawn, or lost - opening inaccuracy leading to weakness, but me being swindled on time! A prize for explaining why taking my knight on move 26 is so bad!
