However, it was an evenly played game and a fair result. (8/30/98) My Updated Total Score: ½ - ½ |

Franklin (2071) 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.e3 e5 5.d4 cxd4 6.exd4 e4 7.Ng5 Bb4 8.d5 Ne5 9.Bd2 0-0 10.Ncxe4 Bxd2+ 11.Qxd2 Nxe4 12.Nxe4 Re8 Game switched to e-mail at this point. 13.0-0-0 Nxc4 14.Bxc4 Rxe4 15.Bd3 Rh4 16.g3 Rh6 17.d6 b5 18.Rhe1 Bb7 19.Re7 Qb6 20.

1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 c6 3.cxd5 cxd5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bf4 Qb6 7.Na4 Qb4+ 8.Bd2 Qd6 9.e3 Bf5 10.Rc1 Rc8 11.Qb3 b6 12.Bb5 Bd7 13.Ne5 Rc7 14.Bxc6 Bxc6 15.Rxc6 Rxc6 16.Qb5 Nd7 17.Qxc6 Black Resigns. 1-0 (11/10/98) McLaughlin resigns down a full piece with Queens coming off the board. He said, "My competitive instincts tell me to continue." Such competitive instincts are a great value to a tournament player, and I wouldn't have been offended if he had continued. Of course, I was lucky in this game. It's not often a strong opponent misplays an opening to the extent of losing a piece ... something McLaughlin has probably never done before. This is an important point for me, putting over the 50% mark for the first time in this event. The rating points don't hurt, either! My Updated Total Score: 2½ - 1½ |

I finally caught up but never had any real winning chances. I was hoping my opponent would play 32.Qxb6 and try to win with his extra Q-side pawn. I think with careful play I would be able to squeek out a win, but my opponent played correctly and the game ended peacefully. My Updated Total Score: 3½ - 2½ |

Black Withdraws.1-0 (7/05/99) The game was starting to get quite interesting with a clear edge to White. My opponent withdrew without completing a single game. This game will be scored as a win (with rating credit) by ICCF. I'm disappointed not to get to play out this fascinating position. My Updated Total Score: 4½ - 2½ |

After 45. ... Kxc6 46.Qxe6+ and 47.Rxf6 Black is smashed. A most impressive game by White. My Updated Total Score: 5½ - 3½ |
