The Litauian youngster Karolis Juksta (left) leads Ålesund GP after
winning both his games on Saturday.At the picture we see him
beating Erlend Kyrkjebø as black in the French (3.Nd2 c5). Juksta
has four Points and will have black against me tomorrow in th 5th
round.

I was hard pushed as black in a 1.f4 (Bird).Thomas Nyland probably
had some very good continuations. But he let me get the counterplay
I needed to get a draw. I have 3,5 points and will have white against
Juksta tomorrow at 9.00.TS and Live.
