I am still in the opening phase in all the games. only 2 games are out of my database. I use time in the opening because I am afraid that games may be decided in the opening(maybe it already happened in one of my games and I still do not know it). I also has less time per game relative to the israeli championship because of the following reasons: 1)I have more opponents(10 when in the israeli competitions I had never more than 8 opponents at the same time). 2)I use less computer time because I also use computer time for movei. I do not expect high result like the israeli championship and I will be happy with 7/10. Uri
