This week's pair of games are by a young Indian Kalki Eshwar who writes:
I am currently 14 years old and rated 1628 I learnt this marvellous game when I was about four years old and started playing serious chess about five years ago, I am currently working without a coach, Both of these games were played in the same tournament and illustrate a person's play with and without pressure. I hope you enjoy them!
Indeed I did! Both are hard battles and were very well annotated by Kalki to which I've added, as usual, my comments as 'JS'. We start with the Agony. A tough battle in which he equalised out of the opening but then shed a pawn and lost a difficult rook ending.
