E11 Bogo-Indian (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+ 4.Bd2 Bxd2+ 5.Nbxd2 d6 6.e4)

Yesterday evening I started to be bit worried about my correspondence chess games as I could not remember if I had already moved so that I could go to sleep without the need to worry about losing a game on time. Of course for some reason or the other I could not access internet anymore so I could not check whether my fears of losing are actually justified or not. Funny thing is though I slept a lot longer than I usually do, I guess it was a good thing because I am still a little bit sick, no fever though. When I finally was able to log in today to see what the status of the games are, I had not lost on time but I had to resign in one of my games, extending my losing streak to two games in one of the sites I play. Okay, maybe it can't be called a proper losing streak yet as there are only two games contributing to it. I do hope to get back in to winning games again as soon as possible or my rating will start to drop a lot again. The problem is that I am for the most of the time the higher rated player in the games and that means that if I lose my rating will drop more than it would increase in the case I win. Well, against a lower rated opponent I have to win if I want to increase my rating... I have added more puzzles to mate in one and two pages.
