RBA Bennett, 12 May 2013

The problem with being addicted to caffeine is that while drinking your coffee the next round can start. White pieces and caffeine against a lower graded player made no difference as once more I lost. The opening and middle game was equal and then I managed to make it unequal. Unfortunately, not in my favour. Rook and minor pieces middle game became too complicated for yours truly who made an inaccurate King move and allowed my opponents white squared Bishop into too strong a position and my pieces fell one by one.
