Another won game.
Scotch Game 2
Another game I'm proud of today. Once again, sidelines. Once again plenty of mistakes from either side, and I won only because I was able to take advantage better.

Scotch Game 1
This is one of the games I'm proud of. Started as a potential Scotch, but my opponent played some side lines and took me out of preparation as early as move 5.
I committed a few inaccuracies and mistakes, and so did my opponent. But I'm glad I pounced on my opponent's mistakes better than the other way around. That was the only saving grace which won me this game.
