Jan Sendall and Paul Clark inaugural Memorial Handicap Rapidplay Chess Tournament Round 3

My third game was an excellent example of the what the lack of opening preparation can do to you at club and tournament level.

Against 1. d4 I went for a Kings side fianchetto and sort of muddled my way along for the next thirty or so moves until my position collapsed as one of his hoppity's gained too many squares around my King. So it has to be back to the drawing board for me to ready myself for a proper tournament later this year or next. I need to prep some good opening material for both colours as well as gaining match fitness.
