C78 Spanish Game: Archangelsk and Möller Defences (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Nf6 6.O-O Bb7 7.Re1 Bc5 8.c3 d6 9.d4 Bb6 10.Bg5 h6 11.Bh4 O-O 12.a4 g5 13.Bg3)

The game I am sharing with you today, was played in a team match called Northeast9. The match is played between BRAZIL - NORDESTE and Finno-Ugric Chess Players. I am playing board two for Finno-Ugric Chess Players. There are still two games to play in the match, my other game against rabirabbit and one game on board three. We lead the match 4 - 6, so even a draw from the last two remaining games would suffice to ensure our win in the match. In this game, I had very little chances because my opponent played well. I have updated some of the old analysis in my earliest posts. All of the updates have kept my quite busy today but I did also add three mate in ones, one mate in four and also added a new page for mate in 16.
