Yet again, I managed to gain some 10 rating points out of the tournament. However, I went into the last round with
more or less no rating difference, i.e. I didn´t really achieve anything
during the first 6 rounds. That´s not really satisfactory... 8-/
All in all, I still have one - but known - huge construction site
with one variation for Black. Something that a strong IM made me aware
of the hard way...
In addition, I made inappropriate judgements within three
middle-games, resulting in a draw (instead of "more") and a loss
(instead of a "dead draw"), but also one victory (which, overall, was
not really deserved). However, I also went for variations which I don´t
play frequently in 3 games but came out of the opening pretty fine.
Hence, I would conclude that this tournament showed a "certain weakness"
in positional understanding. Taking the last three tournaments into
account, it probably was the weakest one, purely taking "quality" (and
not rating points gained) into account.
But, as stated above, I still managed to finish with a two-digit rating improvement... 8-)
