Waukesha Spring Swiss - Started with a win

Playing in a tournament after almost one month gap. Wanted to play a long game so that "engines start running again" and long game it was (60 moves). I played pretty average, finding second best moves but anyway managing to win. My opponent (Gregory Reese Senior - 1346 rated) played well, didn't make any blunder but did miss his chance in the early middle game where I played a few "not so good" moves.

Waukesha Spring Swiss has drawn 26 players and following players are with 1 point after first round


Williams, Souvik, Kohlenberg, Coons, Iva, Ryan, Krause, Hetzell, Anderson, Hartig, G Reese Junior, Ruel, Lawrence

Here is my game....a Colle - fitting to my blog
