That's because I only wanted to highlight your wins or draws and not your losses. But as you have seen it is in the Junior poll.

Actually I also opened this with an intention to vote for Junior-Hiarcs.

Pandix Vs Hiarcs.

Pandix gave hiarcs a tough time. It was Rook + pawn vs 2 Bishops. Bishops mobility have been greatly reduced but Hiarcs managed to make use of both the bishops later by placing a queen where it will have a lot of scope and then pushing up the pawn to make way for the Bishop that was cramped.

That's the game I voted for as well. I thought the opening novelty of Pandix was interesting, however after careful review of the game I believe Hiarcs response was best and gave black a small but constant edge. Any GM had to love how Hiarcs converted that opening exchange imbalance into a win.
