The game below was played in a team match called PFCC YEAR END CHALLENGE-December 14. It was a 27 board match between PHILIPPINES' FINEST Chess Club and The Toon Gang. I played board ten in this match for the The Toon Gang. Our opponent won the match with a score of 28 - 26. As the other game that I played in this match I have already shared previously, you might have seen the same information there. This match started December 11th 2014 and concluded March 12th 2015. Thinking time was 3 days for each move. This match was quite fruitful to me as it brought two opening variations that were previously unseen in this blog, so I can only thank my opponent for his choice of opening play.
I previously thought that it would be easy enough for me to maintain a rating over 1700 at FIDE Online Arena but as there are some people who are clearly lower rated than they should be, it might be more difficult task than I first thought. Not only that but as I have played mainly rapid tournaments there, I might get only two official games played per day and I can't be sure on which round those games will come. Well, it is not always sure that I even get one official game played in a tournament. Official games I call the games that affect my monitored elo that is. Only those monitored elo games increase the game requirement for the title. If I had more free time to play, I might get these games faster but it is not a likely thing to happen in the near future. I have added one mate in two, one mate in three, two mate in four and one mate in five puzzle today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
Game number two. This was played in the second round of an over the board tournament that was held at Turku between December 7th 2001 and December 9th 2001. It is sometimes rather painful to look at my earliest recorded games because they were really bad. I may find solace on the fact that I have improved my game quite a lot over the years. In order to complete my chess legacy in this blog, I have to include all my games whether they are good or not. After I had played two games in this tournament, I still had not gathered any points. It was an uphill battle for the most part back then and I ended up losing most of my games. I am happy that those days are long gone and I have become a winning player, well for the most part that is.
