Averno did what it had to, but still deserves >critisism for not destroying Mint in the opening phase like >the rest of the boys ;) Averno played a dubious opening line, and Mint reacted correctly and played a good oppening-midgame phase. Not that I don't deserve criticism (I always accept it since it helps me improving Averno), but it's fair to say that Mint played correctly. I haven't analyzed the endgame yet. At first sight, I thought it should be a draw, but as moves were made, I realized the knight were stronger than the bishop there, so maybe the endgame was lost for white after all. Anyway, it was very difficult to know it when the rooks were exchanged. Good luck with Mint. José C. >OK thats it.
