Last night was Day 3 of the Knockout Tournament. The first two matches were Pereira vs Ramirez and Imada vs Vela.
Pereira vs Ramirez
This was a real fight. Jose lost the first game and then he got serious. He came back with a vicious mating attack to win the second game. Then the blitz match began. Jose had a winning position but had only 3 seconds on the clock. He failed to find mate and forced a draw. Pereira won the next game and advances to face Jauregui next week. Jose was eliminated.
Imada vs Vela
Imada won both games to advance. Vela drops to the loser's bracket.
The next match was a tough battle.
Imada vs Reyes J.
Reyes won the first game and Imada came back and won the second game. Then the blitz match began. Reyes won one game and Imada won the next game. The players began Armageddon blitz with Imada as White. Reyes won. Reyes advances to the final two and awaits the winner of the loser's bracket. Imada drops to the loser's bracket.
I did hear an interesting quote last night filled with infinite chess wisdom. The quote was "OH S**IT!" I might need that one someday!
