This is from the same WORLD OPEN RAPID tournament as the game I shared with you yesterday. This was played in the second round of that tournament. I had a decent start for the tournament as I got a win and a draw from the first two games. The games themselves were not all that good though, from my perspective that is. I ended up being quite lucky in both of these games as I could have easily lost them both, had my opponents been able to take an advantage from my mistakes better. I am currently going through these 15 minute games as I kind of want to know how to improve my game in them. I face the same opponents almost every tournament so I can maybe prepare something against them. I am still missing 29 rapid games from the required 50 games for the title. I managed to get four monitored elo games in the tournament I played yesterday which was great as I have never before managed to get those on every round. What was not that great though was the fact that my rating stayed the same as it was before the tournament. It is of course better than losing my rating points but I still need to play my back against the wall as one really bad loss might reset the game counter. With my luck that happens just before I would get that 50 games played... I have added three mate in threes, one mate in five and one mate in seven today. When I looked up the opening variation for this game, I noticed something interesting, in all the sources I looked at, there was the same little mistake in the move numbering. In every single one the moves were marked 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 3.exd5, even though the last one should be 4.exd5. I guess there was a copy paste like error somewhere along the way and no one who did the copying did not correct the mistake...
Game number two. The game below was played in the third round of the WORLD OPEN RAPID tournament at the FIDE Online Arena. This loss was my first in this tournament and I had won my first two games. I have found it difficult to play against safmoon and this game was no exception. I do remember winning a game against safmoon, at least once, so I can win occasionally but I need to play my best in order to do so.
