I hope all had a good holiday season. But not that all the presents are opened, family time had and everyone has returned back to their normal lives it is time to get back to chess. Last week saw the first round of the 2011 Winter Swiss and as the first tournament of the year, I played the first ever Bird's Opening as White. If you have read any of my other posts you will know that I have once again altered my openning selection including the Bird Opening. I will only play this as White this year so hopefully I will be able to quickly learn the ins and outs of it.
I have my game listed below with my thoughts included. I did not go through it with a computer yet becuase I find it important to look at the game and try to remember what I was thinking so that is what I did here. I'm sure there is a lot that I missed but then this is how one learns.
If you have any feedback on my game, please let me know. I hope you enjoy it.
