Well, first thanks to all of you who gave me the support after my 32 point losing, 3 losses in 5 games performance in the team tournament. I almost thought of quitting ! I am happy that I didn't !
I scored 4/5 in the MCA Fide Futurity event on 8-9 March in Hales CCorner and gained back 17 points to reach 1961. The only loss was to IM Mesgen Amanov in a tough fought 45 move game where I lost my rook in a knight fork in a pawn down endgame while in time trouble.
None of the wins were a gift as I had to fight till 30-40 moves to earn it and though I missed moves but I also saw a lot of tactics - from both ends. I am happy that I continued to play...I really do love this this game of chess. Yes, I do !
Will put the games once done with the analysis.

Souvik, I was happy to see you win a share of the combined 3rd Place/Under 2000 prize. Congratulations !! Tom Fogec
Likewise, happy for your return to good form. I also played IM Amanov, but fared no better than you. A good challenge for us both; a riddle to solve!

You have to beat higher rated players to prove that you are getting better. Beating players 100s of points below is nothing to write home about
