A10 English Opening: Unusual Replies for Black (1.c4 Nc6)

This evening will be a busy one for me as I really have to get moves done in my games if I don't, I end up having every day the same problem always under 10 hours to move in one or more of my games. The problem is of course that I can't seem to find a good plan most of the time. It somehow feels like the games have gotten a lot harder than they used to be or something has happened to my ability to play decent moves. Sure there are still easy games in the mix in all my in progress games and I do try finish those quicker so that I can spend more time in the harder ones. Maybe I spend even too much time on thinking some positions. I do find that I accept draws maybe easier than previously. Or maybe the positions where my opponents make the draw offer are more agreeable than maybe in some of my over the board games over the years. I do not offer draws that often myself and that may have been quite constant thing in my 13 years of playing chess. I have updated mate in one, two and three puzzle sections of the blog today.
