This game was played in a team match called Nueva Vizcaya. This 25 board match is played between Philippine Critical Movers and Kopaonik. I am playing on board 5 for Kopaonik in this match. The current score in the match is 17,5 - 25,5 in favor of Kopaonik which means that after all the games are finished, Kopaonik is declared the winner. The game below is one of the nicest wins I have had recently, especially the ending position is something I like in this game. And even though I did not find all the strongest moves which might have resulted in nicer combinations than seen in the game, I am quite satisfied with the way I played this game.
I have less than 200 games in progress at the moment which has not happened in several months!! This I realized while typing this because it interested me to know how many more games I need to play, so I calculated the total amount from four different sites and it added up to 199. There are also some games that should finish at any point now, so things are looking a bit better for me at the moment as the pressure from the games is easing up a bit. I have added one mate in two, one mate in three, one mate in four and two mate in seven puzzles today.

I am still continuing on the path where I share my games from Red Hot Pawn and Chess.com on alternating days. There might be a game from GameKnot for a change tomorrow if I can remember to go through it. Probably also some games from Chess.com as well because if I recall correctly, the opening that was played in the game from GameKnot, it did not offer anything new. The game below was played in the 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen III tournament at Red Hot Pawn. This is a tournament that had 21 players at the start and everyone played each other twice, so this tournament added the game count for all the players playing the tournament by 40 games. I am currently fourth and I will stay in fourth place since nobody can't overtake me and I also can't overtake anyone anymore. I have three games left in the tournament and I am just trying to keep my rating decent and maybe increase it a bit because it is the only thing I can do at this point. In the game below I had my chances to win but I was not able to do so and ruined my position to the extent that I could have lost the game, but at the end I was happy to reach the draw. I have added two mate in ones, two mate in twos and one mate in three puzzle today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!

Welcome all to another episode of how to beat me at chess. There are more examples in this blog and even maybe better examples than this game but it will do for now. This was played in a team match called K & Ваш ход, товарищ! URAAA ! > 24. and it was played between Ваш ход, товарищ! and The Night's Watch at Castle Black. I played on board 5 for The Night's Watch at Castle Black. In addition to this loss, I played a draw against windpatzer. The current score in this 16 board match is 13 - 18 in favor of The Night's Watch at Castle Black. This means that no matter what happens in the last game, we have already secured the win. It is a good thing that other members of the team were in good shape and were able to take the points because I was lacking on that department this time. The amount of simultaneous games that I play have dropped to 202 today, so maybe I can get some more free time from those games and can concentrate on getting that next FIDE title in the nearish future. Well, when the game load has dropped to 100 or less, I may have interest to play some other chess games than my correspondence chess games. I have added one more analysed game to these two posts today: C20 King Pawn Game: Macleod Attack and D02 Queen Pawn Game: Symmetrical Variation. Pseudo-Catalan. I have also added five more puzzles that are divided into two mate in ones, one mate in two, one mate in three and one mate in four.

The game below is from the 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen II tournament that is still in progress at Red Hot Pawn. I am currently leading the tournament by two points and have only two games left. My main rival in this tournament is caissad4, who has already won one of the two games against me in this tournament. It was also the first game to finish of the many games I have against him. Also the only one that has ended from those games against him. Caissad4 has four points higher maximum possible score than me, so he is more likely to win this tournament than me. In the game below I gained an advantage, then lost it, then regained it again and then could have gone to a lost position couple of times but my opponent did not take advantage of his chances. After my move 29.Nf6+ I did not lose the advantage again and went on to win the game. I have added one mate in one, three mate in twos and one mate in three puzzle today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!

B17 Caro-Kann: Modern Line (4...Nd7) (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Nf3 Ngf6)
The game below is one of the 132 team match games that I have played at Chess.com. I have won 87 of those, played nine draws and lost 36. My winning percentage in team matches is slightly higher than it is when compared to my tournament or other games. This was played in a team match called mini semi open match LBF 206 - 2100 rating and it was played between La Belle France and Hungarian Chess Group. I played on board 2 for La Belle France. In both of my games my opponent offered me a draw but I declined both offers. This I did in order to keep the chances alive for our team to fight for the win. It turned out that I should have accepted the draw in the game I played with the black pieces as I ended up losing it. If I recall correctly, the last two games in this match were played between me and eperjam. The one I lost ended before this and I started to feel quite a bit foolish of trying to win both games. The win in this game was crucial for our team because of that we drew the match 7 - 7. Our board 5 we lost both games due to timeouts, it was a shame since in both games the material in the final positions were even and the winner of those two games was not clear at that point. I have added one mate in one, one mate in two, two mate in threes and one mate in five today.

Another correspondence chess game from Red Hot Pawn and this was played in the first round of the 2014 October Split II tournament. Out of the 22 games that started for this tournament, I have 3 games left to finish. I am currently on third place in group 1, only one point behind the current leaders NN Cheap and aukermdr. They are actually not even my biggest competition for winning the group as they have their maximum possible score two points lower than me. However, only by winning the three games I have left can I ensure my place on the second round. The one player that is my biggest rival for the win is caissad4, who is currently on fourth place and has not lost any points so far. So in order for me to take the first place in this group or even share it, I need to win both of my games against caissad4 but that is very hard to accomplish. The game below was one of the easier games in this tournament for me. I have added one mate in one, three mate in twos and one mate in three. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!

This time I will present a game that was played at Chess.com in the first round of a tournament called Maximum ! So far I have finished 11 games in this tournament and because there are 12 players in a group and you play each player twice, I have half of the games still left to finish. I have gathered 6,5 points in those eleven games and that puts me in eight place at the moment. The player who leads our group is the opponent I had in this game, chramer. He only has one draw in this tournament and has won 20! His only game left is against me. Interestingly this player started the tournament with a rating of 1259. According to his rather bad statistics on Online Chess otherwise, I would think that this is his best tournament. I have added two mate in ones, two mate in twos and one mate in four.
This was a very difficult game for me to play and as you may see in the notation, the advantage shifted back and forth a few times. Both players played some horrible moves but as the last ones were made by my opponent, I was able to get the win. This was played in the 2014 September Grand Seven Fourteen III tournament at Red Hot Pawn. Out of the 21 players that started this tournament, only five are still in the fight for the win. I have 11 games left still from the 40 games that started on September 11th 2014. My playing speed has been quite slow in the last few months but I am hoping that will change as the game load comes down enough. I still have 214 games in progress that are divided into four different sites. The site I am currently most active based on the amount of games in progress is Chess.com. I have also added one mate in one, three mate in threes and one mate in five.

This game was played at Chess.com in a team match called Let;s get it on 2015! and it is played between !♔NM Aww-Rats Free Video Lessons!♔ and Romeo and Juliet. This is played on 107 boards and the current score in the match is 94,5 - 116,5 in favor of Romeo and Juliet. I played on board 13 in this match for Romeo and Juliet and I won one game and lost one. The game below was my better game against Marley_Torpe_Oreo but if my opponent had not lost on time, this might have been far from winning for me. We just need to wait for the last games to finish in order to officially get the win. I have added two mate in ones, two mate in twos and one mate in three today.

This game shows probably one of the longest theoretical lines I have managed to play in my games. It also means that my opponent was able to play it as well and it was actually me that went out of previously played lines first. I had a good game up to move 24 but then on move 25 I messed up my position a bit and gave my opponent some chances for an equal position. He gave the advantage back to me on his 26th move and after that I was able to maintain my advantage to the end. The game below was played in the first round of the 2014 October Split II tournament at Red Hot Pawn. I have five games left to finish from the 22 games that started with this tournament. I am in fourth place but I have some chances of getting the first place in the group and advancing to the second round. I have added two mate in twos, two mate in threes and one mate in six today. Until next time, my fellow chess enthusiasts!

The game below is from a team match that was played at Chess.com. This match is played on 217 boards between DORU-66 & HIS BEST FRIENDS and TURK CHESS PLAYERS. I played on board 38 in this match for DORU-66 & HIS BEST FRIENDS. I won one and lost one, so it was quite evenly matched board this time. The current score in this match is 211,5 - 196,5 in favor of DORU-66 & HIS BEST FRIENDS, so we need 6 more points to get the win. Playing against gambit play has not worked out all that well for me in the past but maybe if I get more games like this, I would start to like to play against them. Maybe I should play gambit openings myself in order to learn them better and maybe doing so would improve my tactical awareness as well. I have added three mate in ones, one mate in two and one mate in six today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
Game number two. This game was played on the first round of the 2015 October Grand Split Three Seven I 1800+ tournament. I have currently gathered 28 points in this tournament and my maximum possible score is 64, which is not even enough anymore to fight for the win of the group. I am on 8th place with my current collection of points and Johannes Goethe is on 7th place and he has gathered 30 points so far. I am not sure why my opponent offered me a draw in the final position. Because I thought I would be insane to refuse a draw in a position I was, I accepted the draw.
This game went wrong for me already on move 7 when I played the bold looking d5. It just is not a good move and I should have probably castled instead or play d6 or even Nxe4 was better than the move I played. The game actually briefly advances towards equality, but then on move 9 I start to mess up my position again which I continue to do a few times later on in the game. The final position looks to be clearly better for Johannes Goethe, so it is a mystery to me why he offered me a draw.

The game below is probably the only good game I have played against NN Cheap. This game was actually won on time but I am better in the final position, so the win might have been possible even if the game had continued. This is also the best win at Red Hot Pawn that I have had, based on the rating of my opponent. I do not think I have won against a player higher rated than NN Cheap at Red Hot Pawn. This was played in the first round of the 2014 October Split II tournament. I am one of four players currently on the group I am in that have chances of winning the group and advancing to the second and final round. One of the players who still have chances to win the group is also the opponent I faced in this game. His maximum possible score at the moment is 58 and mine is 60 so I have little bit better chances to win but anything can still happen. I have added one mate in one, one mate in two, two mate in three and one mate in four puzzle today.

With this post there are 300 different opening variations covered!! It is a nice milestone to reach. Not sure how many more can be seen in my games but as long as there new ones, I shall keep doing this blog the same way as before. The move order seen in the game is quite unusual for this opening variation and the normal move order is 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 4.e4. So basically none of the moves were played in the order they appear in theory but as the position after the moves is the same it does not matter that much. Of course the different move order can give some options that were not present in the normal move order. This game was played in a team match called Open Challenge Royal Challengers. It started on October 26th 2014 and it is still ongoing due to the fact that one game remains in this match. The match is played between Royal Challengers and DORU-66 & HIS BEST FRIENDS. I play on board 7 in this match for the Royal Challengers. Part of the reason that my game is the last one again to finish is the fact that this game is quite a long one if you consider the move count. The score before the last game ends is 12,5 - 16,5 in favor of DORU-66 & HIS BEST FRIENDS which means they will win this match no matter what happens in the last game. I have added three mate in twos, one mate in six and one mate in seven moves puzzles today.
The name of the post was changed from D31 Semi-Slav Defense: Marshall Gambit to its current one on September 2nd, 2019.

The game below was played in the 2014 September Octet I 1700-1800 tournament at Red Hot Pawn. This game and my other game against veca were the last games left in this tournament but now all games are complete and I finished second after the clear winner AttilaTheHorn, who only drew one game and won the rest. These two remaining games decided the second and third place and those two games were long battles and in some ways unnecessarily long. Then again if people want to play to the very end, they have every right to do so. I personally would not continue a game that is completely lost and has no hope of a win or a draw. That being said, it is sometimes hard for me to hit that resign button. Accepting the fact that I have lost after a long battle is very hard for me to do, it used to be much harder, but with every loss it may come a little bit easier. Yesterday I briefly increased my peak rating to 1935 but almost immediately afterwards I had to resign a game and drop my rating eight points. I have added one mate in one, three mate in threes and one mate in six today. I have also added one game to my post C41 Philidor Defense: Exchange Variation 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4.
Apart from some inaccuracies, the game was played reasonably well by both players until it came time for veca to play his or her 17th move N7c6 in the position below. More advisable moves are 17...g5 and 17...Kh8.
I responded with the move 18.Nc4 and after that the game was firmly in my grasp, despite some inaccurate moves I made. The game ended in my favor when I played 60.Qc8#.
Game number two. This was played in the 2014 September Grand Seven Fourteen III tournament that is still ongoing at Red Hot Pawn. This tournament started September 11th 2014 with all the games that are played in the tournament but due to the long time controls, there are still unfinished games. I, for instance, have three games still left to finish and all the games have 46 or 47 moves played in them so far. The winner of the tournament has been already decided though and the winner is a player called kopsov (2013). Kopsov has one more game left to finish in the tournament. The second place is currently in possession of a player called Luft (1978) but that might change as the remaining games finish. A player called Reverb (1702) is on third place at the moment and is the only player who can still overtake Luft and take the second place. I am currently in fourth place and I can only get to third place if all goes well in the remaining games.
This game followed the first game in this post up to the move 5...Bg7. In the first game I played 6.c3, but in this game I decided to play 6.Be3. Both moves should lead to an even position. The game went wrong for veca when my opponent played 7...c5 in the position below. I played 8.Nb5, which was the best reply.
7...a6 was a better option and would have kept the position equal.
I should be clearly better after my 8th move. If the game was not lost for veca after 7...c5, then it surely was lost after veca's next move 8...Be6?? My opponent never recovered from these early blunders and lost the game with the move 45.Qa8#.
Game number three. This was played on the first round of a tournament called 2014 October Glacial Super Casual Banded I 1650+, which is partly still in progress at Red Hot Pawn. 23 players started this tournament and players were divided into two groups, one consisting of 12 players and the other consisting of 11 players. I am playing in group 1, which is the slightly bigger one of the two. Both groups have been decided and therefore the second and final round has already started. All of the games in this tournament at the same time, on November 3rd, 2014. The game below ended on February 10th, 2016. I still have two games in progress from the games that started well over a year ago... That is some real dedication to the game in my opinion. The thinking times in this tournament have been the longest that I have ever experienced, timeout is 21 days and in addition to that there are 21 days in the bank. I am currently on fourth place and I will also be on fourth place in the final standings because the remaining games are not enough to change anything. Because I am currently the third highest rated player in the group, I am slightly disappointed by the way the tournament went. Then again when the tournament started, I may have been further down in the ratings, so at least something has gone in the right direction.
This game followed the first game in this post up to the move 6.c3. In the first game veca played 6...Ne7, but in this game veca chose to play 6...Nf6. The first move that changed the game clearly in favor of either player was seen in position below. Veca played 16...c5 for some reason and lost a pawn.
Better alternatives for veca were 16...Nd7, 16...Rab8 and 16...Ne4.
Due to my sloppy moves I was not able to keep all of my advantage and in the position below, I played 22.Qd2 and allowed my opponent back into the game. Veca replied to 22.Qd2 with the move 22...Qb6 and I was on the clearly better side of the board again. The best chance for veca was 22...d4 and my oppoent could have been quite close of holding on to a draw.
Better moves for me were 22.b4 and 22.Rfd1.
The final mistake of the game was seen a few moves later in the position you can see below. Veca played 27...axb4. It gave me two connected passed pawns on the queenside and made the rest of the game really easy for me.
27...Rdc8 was a better choice.
The game ended when I played 54.Qe5#.

This game was for the most part favorable for my opponent but one really bad move at the end was enough for me to turn things around. The game below was played in a team match called 1. To Holmgard And Beyond. This is a match played on 29 boards between DEORLS! and Team Moscow. I played on board 10 for DEORLS! and won both of my games against IGILO. With only one game remaining in the match, the score is 34 - 23 in favor of DEORLS! which means we will win the match, no matter what happens in the last game. I had a bad streak at Chess.com for a while when I lost most of my games but recently I seem to have taken more wins again than losses, so there is some chance left to go back over 1900 again. The average rating of my opponents have increased steadily for some time now but it has not changed my winning percentage all that much, at least not yet. It will undoubtedly change after I start to face either much stronger opponents or much weaker opponents than me. If I could choose the opponents more freely, I would only play against people who are rated roughly 300 points higher than me. I think it would be most beneficial to me. I have added one mate in one, two mate in twos, one mate in three and one mate in four today.

This game I share with you today is from the second round of a tournament called 2014 August Banded Quartets I 1700-1800 at Red Hot Pawn. Timeout in this tournament was 3 days and there was a timebank of 7 days. Only the first round went well for me as I won my group but then on the second round I faced the group winners and then I faced much tougher resistance. I ended up on fourth place, 15 points behind the tournament winner. If you won a game, you got 3 points, if you drew a game, you got one point and nothing if you lost the game. As far as I am aware, this is the way they calculate all the points in all the tournaments at Red Hot Pawn. I was quite lost in this game for a long time until I got finally some counterplay for the piece. I think this game shows that you should not resign too early, you might get some unexpected chances later on. Well, depends a lot of the disadvantage you are in of course. In case you are a pawn or two down or even a piece from the opening, for instance, there might be chances for a comeback, at least in case of amateur chess. While I typed this, one of my games ended at Red Hot Pawn to my win and it raised my rating once again to a new peak!! Now my all time highest rating there is 1934! That rating now enables me to be the 350th highest rated player on the site. There are 10751 active players on that list, so I am almost in the top 3% there now. I have added two mate in twos, one mate in three, one mate in four and one mate in ten today.

It is always nice to see that after a few games that I go through in my database, some new opening that I have not covered yet appears and I get a topic for my posts. I am already nearing 300 different opening variations which makes me grin a bit. I would not have believed this when I started doing this blog but somehow something new always comes along. I know that there is a limit in the openings so if I somehow get to 3600 then I know there are not that many left anymore. I do not know how many there are in total exactly, but according to one estimate there are over 3600. I think I should go over some of my chess960 games soon but for now I will cover just my chess games. The game below is from a team match called Open Challenge Team Bengaluru - ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು. It was played between Team Bengaluru - ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು and King Hunters. I played on board two for King Hunters. This 10 board match ended in a score of 13 - 7 in favor of Team Bengaluru - ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು. The match started on January 13th 2015 and ended on April 18th 2015. I have added one mate in one, two mate in twos, one mate in three and one mate in six today.
