2006 Twin City Championship, Round 2

Well, my Internet play may suck right now, but I'm having continued success over the board. Tonight, I faced the winner of last year's tournament. This is the same person who I beat back in November while he was Class A. He's dropped down to Class B with a rating of 1765. Nonetheless, I managed to extend my winning streak against him to two games....

So, with this win I'm inches and goal for achieving Class B (and by my own calculations have already achieved it with a rating of 1604 - but this could change if I don't maintain the streak). The tournament skips a week (1st Tues of every month is blitz chess), and resumes the following week.
