This game was played on the third round of the WORLD OPEN RAPID tournament that was held at the FIDE Online Arena March 18th 2015. I had gathered two wins from the two games before this one and things seemed to go well for me. This was the second time I faced this opponent, in the first game I was able to hold a draw with the white pieces and this time I lost with the black pieces. I think we have faced each other now four times and the score is still in favor of andrei2015 but in the two games after this we played two draws. So, three draws and one loss, something I might want to change if we play again. Then again I have been happy with the draws, so if I can't win in the next game either, it won't be a bad thing to get a draw... All four games have featured almost the same opening but some minor differences each time. Yesterday I played probably the best tournament I have played at the FIDE Online Arena so far, I managed to win my second WORLD OPEN RAPID tournament but this time I won all my five games! Something that I have not been able to do in any tournament before that one. My performance rating in the tournament was 2413!! It is the highest performance rating that I ever remember of having. Chances are that this might be once in a lifetime thing but I do what I can to repeat this success or even improve on it. I have added three mate in twos, one mate in six and one mate in eight today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
