C70 Spanish Game: 3...a6 4.Ba4, Norwegian and Delayed Schliemann (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Bc5 4.Bb5 Nge7 5.O-O a6 6.Ba4)

So that this blog would not consist mainly of my won games, here is one that I lost, there will be more losses, draws and other things coming some time soon. Managing at the moment couple of posts per day, let us see how long I can keep it up, no pun intended... ;-) This a repost from one of my older ones under a new opening because I thought the one it was under was not right for it. The updates to older posts might occur also on the future in a way that I either rename them or move some of the games under more appropriate opening. Mostly the posts are the way I like them but some of the older ones where I did not look into the openings as closely as I should have, are somewhat wrong in my opinion.
