C02 French: Advance Variation (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Qb6 6.a3 Bd7 7.b4 cxd4 8.cxd4 Nge7 9.Bb2 Nf5 10.Be2)

The game you are about to see now is from the second round of French 2014 tournament. In the first round of this tournament I was in a group where there were two titled players, one FIDE Master and one International Master. From that group I was able to advance to the second group where there is only one titled player, a National Master. In this second round I am in a group that has five players in it. Each round top three players will advance to the next round and others are eliminated from the tournament. Even though I am currently in third place, I doubt that it continues to be so, long enough that I would be able to go the third round that is. I have also added three mate in ones, one mate in two and one mate in six puzzle today.
