After a slow start to the 2021 Belconnen Cup (0.5/2) I have started to catch the leaders, after 3 straight wins. In what should be an important lesson to newer players, in each game I was winning before my opponent castled. In fact in two of the games, my opponent failed to castle at all. Here is the latest win, highlighting the difficulties you can run into if you fail to get your king out of the centre.
