ChessAnalysisStrategyTournamentOver the board
3 weeks ago i flew to Reykjavik, Island to play one od the strongest chess opens in the world, i really this this tournament and is the fifth time that i play there, here i going to analize my game.

R1-3 Analysis Rounds 4-6
The last 3 games was in 3 separate days so i had time to rest prepare and be ready for the last push.

R7 Ragnarsson,J vs Ruiz Buendia,Miguel

The following day i get another 1900 of Island and in the last years he was playing a3 vs nimzo so i decided to prepare that line.

Great game except for the moves 27 and 28 where i went from a winning position to a losing position.

R8 FM Ruiz Buendia,Miguel vs GM Stefansson,V

Third white vs a GM and this looked to be suscessfull cause i reached a great position after sacrifice a pawn in the opening but the tables turned early.

R9 Dalhouse,J vs Ruiz Buendia,M

Was a bad tournament but at least winning the last round i saved the elo and could make 5.5 like the previous year, if youu cannot improve at least dont become worse.

After reach a very pleasent position a bad calculation where i missed a defensive idea could have ruin the have, by luck my opponent miss the idea too and he made my rook sacrifice work.
