The game you see below is a recent one and like most cases in my games, the opening variation played comes from unusual move order. The usual move order for this opening variation is otherwise the same as the order in the game, except for white's fourth and fifth moves should be other way around. As I typed about the weird time control numbers yesterday this one is also the amount of seconds players had at their disposal for each move. 604800 seconds equals to 7 days. If you find something that is wrong or bizarre in this blog, please let me know in the comments and I try answer as well as I can to what is maybe the reason why something is the way it is. The comments may contain questions about the puzzles or maybe some of my posts that did not make sense if there are any that is that were hard to understand. I do try to do things as simply as I can while maintaining a certain level of quality. I have added more puzzles to mate in ones, twos and threes.
