C17 French: 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 sidelines (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.dxc5)
With this game there are now 150 different opening variations covered in this blog!! It is mind-boggling to notice how many different openings I have played, I guess if I had studied my games more before starting this blog, I would have realized this maybe years earlier... The game below is taken from round one of the French 2014 tournament. It is a thematic tournament where the starting position is after the moves 1.e4 e6 have been played. Round one is still ongoing in my group but I have finished all my games for this round. The round one was nice for me as I got to play against two titled players, FM Juergen Kaufeld and IM Kacper Drozdowski. I managed to only get a draw against FM Kaufeld from our two games but I am happy to get even that. Surprisingly I had a better result against IM Drozdowski getting a win and losing the other one. I also notice now when I look at the tournament results table that I am actually advancing to the next round which I was not expecting at all to do. I finished third in my group, half a point ahead of the player who finished fourth. As the opponent below lost this game on time, my advancement to the next round is not the most glorious one of all time. I do not think there is any luck in a game of chess but I got maybe lucky win on time on this one as this enabled my advancement and the draw I got against the FM. Today I have added more mate in one and mate in two puzzles. Mate in one has now 100 different puzzles to solve!
