Coming after a loss from the last round, Jonah was determined to finish the day on a positive note. Jonah will be playing Bhaskar Gupta, a strong player (FIDE rated 1610) from India. The game was progressing well, but unfortunately, Jonah miscalculated on a series of exchanges and ended up down a piece after his King was forced off the protection of one of his pieces.
It was a tough and draining day, both for Jonah and Dad. Settling into bed that night, Jonah came over and mentioned with intent, "Dad, I hate losing! I will not lose anymore games....". Thus the beginning of an exciting six game winning streak in the days to come.
