In round 3 George was the beneficiary of my horrible opening knowledge, after I left out an important intermediate move. Attempting to transpose into a Sveshnikov Sicilian, I played the very dubious 7.Bg5 instead of the normal 7.Bf4 e5 8.Bg5. This meant I didn't have access to d5 and after giving up the 2 bishops, my position quickly went downhill.
And it wasn't only Xie who I was being helpful to. In the evenings lightning event I lost to young Anton Smirnov in the final round, giving him first place and a nice bottle of wine (which no doubt will be going to dad Vladmir).

Brother I feel your pain. With me it is players coming up to me at my chess club salivating over playing me and gaining rating points. However, the old man still nicks someone once in awhile. Keep your chin up mate !
Bg5 does not seem too bad? Given it is a developing move. Not knowing anything about the theory in this position I might be wrong... but I strikes me that Na3 may be the move that is not good anymore, because there is no comfortable way to get to c4. Pete
18.Bd3 is bad move. 0-0-0 should be better.
it is your open and shut? lol
