The game below was played in a team match called Open Challenge Blake's7. It is played on six boards between Blake's7 and Baker Street Irregulars. I played board one for the Baker Street Irregulars in this match and I won both my games on time. With three games still left to be played in the match, the score is 5,5 - 3,5 in favor of our opponent. If we can somehow win the remaining games, we will win the match but it does require everything to go without a hitch. Today I updated the page Shakin alkeita and I also added the page Chess basics to the blog, which is basically the English version of the page I published yesterday in Finnish. I have also added puzzles to mate in one, two and ten. I have also one other idea to improve this blog but I will type more about it when I am close to or finished it. I can only say at this point that it is a bit time consuming project but I think it will be helpful not only to me but more importantly people who come to see this blog.
