A88 Dutch Defence: Leningrad System: 5.Nf3 0-0 6.0-0 d6 7.Nc3 c6 (1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nf3 g6 4.g3 Bg7 5.Bg2 O-O 6.O-O d6 7.Nc3 c6 8.b3)

This time I present you with two light games, both are under twenty move short games. In the first game I manage to get a win, not a brilliant win since I was in a position earlier in the game that should have ended in my loss. It is quite horrible sometimes when I look at my blitz games and see how bad moves are played in them. Maybe in time I learn not to make as much bad moves as I make nowadays.
