This is last round game of the tournament before heading off to summer break. My opponent is a familiar foe as he already got a +1 against me during the last Club Championship. There is a bit of stake on this game as I want to avenge my earlier loss. A win or a draw will make me the top dog in under 1800 section. He played the Sicilian and I went for a win.
