*COMMENTS FOR GAMES 1-7 WRITTEN AFTER ROUND 7*
Round 1 I'm playing Nishimoto, the winner of the blitz (with 7/7), and current leader of the World Open Championships. Due to the MacMahon pairings system, and my (possibly) inflated rating of 1848, I had tough opponents ahead of me.1

!Now we see the after-effect of P*26. Gote has gained a tokin for a knight.61

I resign. After the game, Nishimoto said I played like a "3 dan at least" (a remark he made, given my name tag said "1 kyu"). Needed this confidence boost since I'd been mistaking dragons for horses in the blitz, and imagining pawns moving like chess pawns in the team chess. So a good start to the event!
