Finally, here are my games from the London open last month. Two (or maybe one and a quarter, I should say) in this post, two in the next hopefully!
The first game was actually in round two, in which I began a failed attempt at recording the game using coordinates on lined paper, not wanting to have to rely on unimpressive memory to create the records. I managed about 7 moves.

My I thought (hoped) that this game may not be too embarrassing
, so we were privileged with having our game reviewed by Taranu Sensei. I sat sideways to the board, black mainly replaying the game. What was interesting was that, sitting from the perspective of the side of the go board rather than as one of the players in addition to insightful commentary, a small type of revelation occurred in which I saw white was consistently addicted to one reoccurring habit; here are the notes I can remember (it's possible that I've forgotten one or two).

"Paraphrasing"
