The opening played in this game I have learned from watching chess videos that have featured strong players. I have never really looked at the theory until I looked it for the post analysis of this game. The game below is a bit unfinished as my opponent lost this game on time. This game was played in the match called We celebrate 500 members by honoring Mequinho - the Brazilian WOLF. The match is played between The WOLF and Chess Society America. I play board 4 for The WOLF and currently our opponent leads the match 1-3. Our board two lost both of his games on time, so that was not good but we still have a chance in the match. I have added more puzzles to mate in ones, twos and threes today. I am going to add puzzle number 500 on December 31st 2014 and that means that I have to increase the amount of puzzles per day to 10 and one day even need to do 11 in order to reach that goal. I am also hoping that I get my other project finished before this year ends so it will be a busy time for me and new content will be coming in a faster pace at least the last week of the year. This is also my 160th different opening featured here!! I have also reached new peak at Queen Alice Internet Chess Club and that new peak rating is 2191!!
