I am still a little under the weather from bronchitis. But it was very good to see Boris Privman back from his kidney transplant. The last two tournaments I have gotten too many opponents who are overwhelming, but in this game, Larry gave me some suggestions that I think are valid.

[Round "2"][White "Margulis"][Black "Graham"][Result "1-0"] [Opening "Queen's pawn game"] [ECO "A46"] [NIC "QP.06"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d6 3. g3 c6 4. Bg2 Bg4 5. O-O Nbd7 6. c4 e5 (this is a move I was not happy with in retrospect) 7. Nc3 Be7 8.d5 c5 (Larry says I should not play c5 at all. I need to take on f3) .9. Ne1 h6 10. f3 Bh5 11. Nd3 O-O 12. Rb1 Rb8 13. e4 Nh7? (this defeats the purpose of h6, which was to make a square for the bishop to escape to) 14. a3 Bg5 15.Qe2 Qe7 16. Be3 a6?! (I probably need to take on e3 before the bishop moves away) 17. Bf2 b5 18. b3 (diagram) Qd8? (and white wins a piece).
