Lethbridge Open

I had a great time this weekend with my friend Eoin, we went to play chess in the Lethbridge Open. We even got paired against each other in my toughest and best game of the tournament. I finished with 3/5, and an 1800 performance rating, so it will bring me down from 1976 to 1950 or so. Not bad considering I'm so rusty. Eoin played great but his result of 2/5 didn't show it. He was beating Roy Yearwood and had good chances against me. Here are my games

Scrabble in Vancouver





That was supposed to be YVR by the way. Don't call it YYV, there's no such thing

Had a wonderful time, and had sushi 5 times in 5 days. And we loved the greek and east indian meals we had.

Had a very good visit at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, and Christine went to the Vancouver Art Gallery and met up with Sean quite accidentally while I was off scrabbling. I played ok, but lost some rating points due to a really bad Saturday.
