Team League : T56 Openings


Although both T57 and T58  have finished, and T59 about to start, I still didn't catch up with T56 summary and games, and in fact haven't blogged since August.

I played all rounds and ended up with a score of 3,5/6, with 3 wins, a draw and 2 losses : more-or-less as expected.

As White, I played a consistent 1.e4 and faced a Caro-Kann  ( loss ), a Sicilian ( win ) and Alekhine's Defence ( win ).

As Black I played the Hanham Philidor twice ( one win, one draw ) and lost against a Réti Opening, one of the few times I have met 1.Nf3 in TL.

All fairly consistent with main TL openings, as e4 is still the most played, and the Sicilian, French, and Caro-Kann the top replies.

Below is a brief summary of opening play in T56.

For all rounds/games, see here for round 1, and follow through for the remaining rounds.
