In the first game my opponent played the Scandinavian defense, I got a small edge, but he defended well and we exchanged nearly everything to finish the game with a stalemate:
In the 2nd game My opponent played Qf6 against the scotch opening and I did not know how to play against it. I played actively and got an important pawn on c7 with white.
He got the edge, but did not use it well. I made a good pawn break with b4, then sacrificed the exchange to eliminate his strong passed pawn. Finally in a worse position he blundered a piece.
I missed this combination:
So yesterday I won 9 points.
Starting rating: 2423
Current rating: 2440
Change: +17
