Second Place!

I was playing someone rated higher again. This time I had Black though, and I tried to defend with the King's Indian Defence. Unfortunately, it didn't end up seeming too defensive as he got a massive attack. He sacrificed too much though, and I should have been able to hold for a winning position. Alas, defending against a strong attack is easier said than done and I fell to a tactical oversight in time pressure. Nevertheless, I had a full point advantage prior to the last round over the pack that was tied for third. So when the dust settled, I was in a four-way tie for second in my section with 6.0 points (5-2-2). They haven't updated the crosstable yet, but I suspect that they'll do so soon.
