Mike Serovey Defeats GMThomas

Earlier today I completed a chess agame at Stan's Net Chess. I decided to play an unusual opening so that I can add more games with them to this blog and my chess site. This agme with the Gedult-Gunderam can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/GMThomas-Gedult.html. Here is the game in PGN:

Mike Serovey Loses to kato

Here is a miniature played last year at ICC. I was up material and got over confident. I didn't pay attention for one move and dropped my Queen! Considering how weak my opponent was I probably should have played this one out some more.

The entire game, with analysis and diagrams, can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/Kato-Sicilian.html. Here is teh game in PGN:
