Interesting games

After complications, White rips open the Black K-side:
         O'Donoghue, Denis J. – McCabe, Darren      1-0

In a closed position, White eventually makes his K-side attack tell:
         Gardenes, Manuel – Bluebaum, Bettina      1-0

An unusual defence to the King's Gambit, not a success:
         Cichonski, Bartlomiej – Gardenes, Manuel      1-0

White gets massacred because of weaknesses on the light squares:
         Cafolla, Peter – Delaney, John      0-1

Black gets a knight for three pawns, loses in time trouble:
         Delaney, John – Magee, Rónán      1-0
