IM Michael Brooks had a rough day today, losing his first game of the tournament to GM Kaidanov and later drawing with GM Benjamin. In round 6, Mike had the White pieces against GM Kaidanov; it was an Exchange-Ruy. I'll be curious to hear what he has to say about it as I know very little of the Ruy Lopez. Here is the link to the game. Round 7 vs. GM Benjamin was an uneventful Nimzo-Indian that ended in a draw on move 38. Talk about a locked-up center! That game can be seen here.
After 7 rounds, Mike is currently tied for third with a score of 3.5/7. The leader is GM Kaidanov who has 5 points.
We'll be rooting you on tomorrow, Mike!
