So far, so good with
that promise to not have any games below 40%. In fact, thinks have perked up
considerably. Perhaps I should thank my partners. Not only is the resolution
intact, but the points are starting to come around – 3.61 in the past four
games.
Saturday, Jan. 6, with
Denise Slattery. 52%, tied for first in a three-table game with attendance
shrunken by the zero-degree cold. First master points of the year – 1.67.
Monday, Jan. 8, with
Judie Bailey. 49%, perhaps we should thank the miracle of stratification for
coming in second in the B strat. 0.46 of a point.
Tuesday, Jan. 9, with
Ed Morgan, first time together. Club manager Bill Finkelstein announced on
Monday that I didn't have a partner for Tuesday and got no takers. Ed and I did
just fine, however. 53.70%, best game of the year so far. Tied for second in
our direction, 0.84 of a point.
Wednesday, Jan. 10,
with June Feuerstein on a typically freewheeling day after I got up two hours
early to take my sweetie to the airport. 51.67%, second in B North-South, 0.64
of a point.
