I have noticed that when I play these team matches no matter if they are on the internet or over the board, I do get the extra push to try and win the game. Sure it does not always equal to victory but the need to fight for the team is stronger than if I would play just a random game. Sadly this does not always even add up to great moves by me which might be partially due to the large amount of games I play at the same time. One part is of course that I may not be all that good to begin with but I certainly have my moments... This game was played in a team match called The Castle of Chenonceau - super semi-open match La Belle France. The match is still ongoing between La Belle France and CALABARZON CHESS TEAM. And yes the latter team name is all in caps. I played board four for the home team that was in this match La Belle France. I won both my games on time. The match is played on seven boards and we currently lead the match 11,5 - 0,5 so we have secured the victory some time ago. There are still two games left in the match and both of them are played on board one. I have added one mate in one and four mate in three puzzles today. Unlike maybe other places on the internet, the puzzles I have shared here have sometimes more than one solution. I do not feel that it is a bad thing, it may sometimes make the puzzles harder or easier depending on the situation and it might be better training for chess as usually there are more than one way to play the position.
