Sensational result in Robecchetto con Induno
After years of bullying that began 10 years ago when Dario beat his father for the first time, last weekend the hierarchical order in the Vergara family was finally restored. Marcos and Alberto Vergara finished the 30th Robecchetto con Induno chess tournament on 2.5 points out of 5; Dario Vergara ended his performance on 2 points, but it was the desire more than the talent that was lacking.
Probably, given that we were on holiday and that to go and play we left Sara alone with Elia and the dogs while we were 200 km away, I won't win first prize as father and partner of the year this year either. Both Elia and Sara fell ill in our absence and I promptly returned to base, abandoning the tournament... No, just kidding, I stayed at the tournament. But I tried to make amends by bringing the patient red-haired woman the official tournament T-shirt as a gift, though I don't think it is enough.
