At least it was only a pyrrhic victory for him.

I see you are playing Neil Berry tomorrow.
Well good luck to both of you.
Used your c3 win on the latest Corner.

"Tomorrow [today] will be C tournament (with time control 10 min + 3 sec) and last 2 games will be on Sunday. In 8th round I will play with Aleksandrs Smirnovs (ELO 2045) which I should win. But I must not be overconfident because that guy managed to draw with GM Janis Klovans in 1st round."
With Neil Berry in next round (which is not tomorrow but in Sunday) is playing another Kristaps - Kristaps Kalnins. So change your desinformation in your Chandler Cornered until it`s not too late 😛

In 9th round I`ve played with un(ELO)rated player one of my the worst games in last years. In 8th move i did blunder piece and resigned.
[Event "Riga open 2008"]
[Site "Riga"]
[Date "2008.08.24"]
[Round "9"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Pavels Besedins"]
[Black "Kristaps Kretainis"]
[BlackElo "2169"]
1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Nc3 Bb7 4. Nf3 Bb4 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. e5 Ne4
7. Bxe4 Bxe4 8. 0-0 0-0
1-0
In overall it was real fail for me (3,5/9) and shows that CC and blitz does not compensate lack of OTB practice.
