I'm back posting again, as this month mostly went unfortunately down the drain with all the computer problems, starting next month I will update this blog daily again. With the new computer quite a lot has changed in the way I do things. With the help of my newly acquired Deep Fritz 14 and the new engine I got for it, Stockfish 5 64 SSE4.2 at least the quality of analysis should be better than it was earlier. Not only that but the processor and well all parts of the computer should be much better also to get as good analysis as possible. Will these improvements help me play better in the future? I do hope so but I also know that I haven't improved my level of play in years... We shall see if I can ever properly call myself a good chess player. Analysis updated on December 22nd, 2019.

Update post on how things are at the moment
I will try to reinstall the program in hopes that it would fix the problem. In the meanwhile however I am not going to able to put more of my games in this blog. If I am unable to fix the problem, it might take until I get myself a new computer that you will see more of my ever so fine games... ;-)

D03 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5, including Torre Attack with early ...d5 (1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.Bg5 e6 4.e3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Bd3 Be7 7.Nbd2)
I wonder if I learn the openings I play ever well enough that I would be able to know all of them by heart and know what a certain variation is called. Sure it might not be necessary to know them by name or exact move order but still it would be nice if I could. Yes, I know that it is probably much more important to know the ideas behind openings and not the moves. The game I share with you now is a good example of an opening I know very little about but after doing some research about it for this blog post, it turns out there is not all that much to learn. At least in the resources I have used to look at openings. Until next time, my dear readers, may you be plenty in the future... ;-) The analysis was updated December 22nd, 2019.

B21 Sicilian: 2.f4 and Morra Gambit (1.e4 c5 2.f4 Nc6 3.Nf3 g6 4.c3)
I am back again after a couple of days break. I was playing in a Finnish Team Blitz Championships last weekend and managed to get a win against an IM!! That was the best win as of yet in any form of chess that I have ever had.
I had the intention of posting here yesterday but to be honest I was way too tired after the long trip to post here. I should be able to do these posts uninterrupted for a long time since I am not planning to go to a close chess tournament any time soon. This game I found from my collection of analysed games again, so the analysis is a few years old. I did add some things and removed something in the opening analysis but the rest of the game is a bit old analysis. Analysis improved and updated on December 2nd, 2019.

B12 Caro-Kann: Advance Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Bd3 Bxd3 5.Qxd3 e6 6.f4 Qa5+)
This is the last post I will make before I need to be ready to leave to a chess tournament. I will be able to post again earliest on Monday, latest on Tuesday. Have a great weekend everyone who came to read this today and to everyone who it will apply to in the future. This is quite a short game but mostly it is played in a good level at least on my opinion for a 5 minute game at least. Analysis updated on December 22nd, 2019.
