Today I post two games in this same new opening straight away as I saw that the the two consecutive games in my database were played by the same players and as it so happens, also the same opening. The game below was played in a tournament called 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen II. It is an ongoing tournament held at Red Hot Pawn. As majority of the games have finished only two players still have chances to win the tournament and I am one of them. I have secured at least fourth place in this 21 player tournament. Thinking times are seven days for each move and there are fourteen days in the bank to use in case you can't make a move in the seven days. In case you spend over seven days to think your move, your timebank starts depleting. Still you have seven days minimum to make your next move even if you used time from the bank. I have added two mate in threes, one mate in two, one mate in five and one mate in seven puzzle today. When I added my first puzzle today to mate in three section, I noticed that my opponent in that game had a rating of 2938! He or she is most likely the highest rated adversary that I have ever faced.
The second game was played in a tournament called 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen III and it obviously is also held at Red Hot Pawn. The thinking times and the amount of players is the same as in the game above. The tournament also started the same day August 11th 2014. In both these tournaments you get 40 simultaneous games immediately when the tournament starts as you play with each color against everyone in the tournament. This tournament differs a bit from the other one in at least one aspect, I am no longer fighting for the win of the tournament but instead I fight for third place.
Game number three. This was played in a team match called Feb. 2015 Challenge(WL): 1701-1900 and it is played between CYBERMEN ELITE and TROY. I am playing on board 1 in this match for TROY. This is only played on three boards, so it is one of the smallest team matches I have been a part of. The current score is 1 - 3 in favor of TROY, so we have at least drawn this match already. In the two remaining games we only need a draw to win the match. This was a rather uneventful game and draw was agreed upon on move 17. The draw was offered by my opponent and I thought I should accept due to the fact that I had no real ideas on how to improve my position. Also the situation in the match was going good enough for us that draw was sensible to make at that point. If we would have needed every game to be won in order to win the match or even draw it, I would not have accepted the draw offer.
