In game 6 I am playing against Tormod Thingstad. He plays for the chess club Hønefoss and he has 1061 in rating. I played against him in last year's championship. I won. I got a great combination in during an attack he was making. Talking to him a few days later he was still not happy.
Now I had a psychological advantage. And rumer had it that he wasn't to keen on playing against me. But last year he had 966 in rating, so he had improved.. and also played 8 tournaments since last time. And I really needed a victory.
I must say, I really tried to drive home a victory. I pushed forward in the center and before I knew it, I am once again on the defensive. But I chance it and hope for a bishop endgame. But whatever I do, it still comes out to a draw.
1061 Tormod Thingstad, Hønefoss, White, 1/2
0000 Gaute Michel Ferstad, Black, 1/2
