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.
The blog features analysed games of mine, consisting of chess, chess960 and 3 check. There are also puzzles that you can solve by moving the pieces on the board and the solution can be checked by using the engine provided by the ChessBase's publishing tool. All games and puzzles can be downloaded for free!
