Sad news of Danya's passing. Gone too soon.

Correct. White wins with castling :)

Eight place is still great especially since you played berserk the whole tournament.

The sacrifice on f2 is pattern you should always watch out for :)

Q + N a deadly combination. :)

It's not too late to learn :)

Correct. It's a back rank mate theme :)

Sorry, I though you were new :)
