This week, I have decided to analyze another game played at the CUCC; this time between McMaster and U de M. This game was an interesting positional battle, where the lower rated white player was able to outplay his opponent. Hopefully you'll enjoy the analysis; you'll see how subtle positional mistakes were quite costly.

This past weekend, at the age of nineteen, I participated in my first Quebec Youth Chess Championship. Of course, not as a player, but as a volunteer on thedirector side.

There were a number of upsets at last week's Canadian University Chess Championships. In my experience, I've found that upsets are often caused by blunders made by the higher opponent - they are rarely the result of being outplayed positionally.
