We were short a player for the first round, but Tal Tales had an excellent first round. I would like to welcome Luke Robson and Matt Henderson to the team. Luke is our new board one, as Kelly Perleberg has moved up to the round robin section of the TCCL. I am the third board, but I moved up to board two for the evening. Matt played board three.
I got a draw against John Thomson as Black. In what looked like a drawn position, Luke pulled out a great endgame win against Jeff Higgins. Matt lost against Steven Kravik.
However, I am gratified we got 1.5 for the three games we played, especially against two very strong players. Jeff and John had an average rating of just shy of 1900, while Luke and I averaged roughly 1460.

Congrats on the good performance in week 1, Joe. Any chance of you posting your game and/or your teammates' games? It's always fun to play through other games from TCCL.

Hey Dan! Thank you! It was a pretty interesting game. I was on defense the entire time.
I'll try to post it in the next few days!
Joe
