European Women's Chess Championship 2011(06-05-2011/19-05-2011)

Round 1, won with white pieces in 33 moves!!

In the first round, I had to play with white against Narmin Kazimova from Azerbaijan (2262). All first rounds are quite difficult (as shown by some surprising results in the top of the field today) and especially this one, because I hadn't play a tournament in almost 2 months! I am happy that I won relatively easy in 33 moves.
I think I could have handled the position after the opening somewhat more agressive. They way it turned out, we had a fairly even position, when she slipped with 26...Qe8, exchanging the Queens and her 28...Nc4? was the decisive mistake (I think the only move would have been 28...Nf7)

Tomorrow in the 2nd round, I will have black against IM Olga Zimina (2346) from Italy.

Here is my game of the first round.
