Dr. Alexey Root

My husband IM Doug Root is playing in the U.S. Open. Tonight, thanks to MonRoi, my children and I are watching Doug's round 2 game live. It's fun to be able to see the game without having to drive 45 minutes to watch in person. I wasn't sure what Doug would play for his 16th move, but both Clarissa (age 15) and William (age 11) guessed 16. Bxf6. They were right.

After move 18, we entered the game moves into Fritz. From move 18 on, we have compared what Fritz recommends to what's actually been played.
