Upcoming tourney

Another tourney, another chance for some smith morra games. While I havent been studing my tactics much over the last 2 weeks, I have been doing some study of the smith morra ....

Update: tournament came and went, 3 games with white and no sicilians at all! Whats up, are people scared to play against the smith morra now??! :)

Swindled win :)
