C41 Philidor Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Bg4 4.dxe5 Nd7 5.exd6 Bxd6 6.Be2)

I have to thank some of opponents because without them I could not have played this many different opening variations. I have still a lot of my games from Red Hot Pawn to go through and there might be more opening variations to discover from those. The game below is from the 2014 September Octet I 1700-1800 tournament that is still in progress at Red Hot Pawn. The winner has been decided some time ago already but the fight for the second place still continues. The only two remaining games in the tournament are between me and veca and both want to finish second in the tournament. This tournament started September 10th 2014 as did all the games that are played in it. Today I have added two mate in ones, one mate in three, four and five puzzle.
