Game #1 isn't much worth mentioning as I win a piece out of the opening against a much lower rated player, although I was a little nervous towards the end that I was allowing too much counter play. Don't let his 700 rating fool you, he beat a 1300 player in the next round.
Game #2 is another in my continuing series of not being able to win winning games against higher rated opponents.
Game #3 is just a shellacking against a higher rated opponent after a series of weak moves in the opening.
In the 3rd game, it looks like going into the QGD exchange structure doesn't work with the white pawn already on a4 : after ...a5, you have no minority attack. Instructive.
