While my results at the 38th Southern Congress weren't spectacular (2.5/5 with one win, 1 draw, two losses and a full point bye) I was very pleased with my play in this game. The idea of 14. f5 leaving a piece en prise for so long was the sort of tactic that so rarely comes my way. My opponent was very gracious in defeat, and we discussed the game afterwards. It was agreed that his lack of proper development after such a strong opening was the determining factor in this game. Notice that his Ra8, Nb8, and queen never left their original squares. Many thanks to Marshall J. for the game, and I hope you have enjoyed it:) - Thomas
