The game that I will share with you now, I played against Arayn, who is my most frequently played opponent at Red Hot Pawn. I have now played 10 games against this player but some of those games I have not analysed yet. The game below is from the first round of a tournament called 2014 October Long Haul Split I. You get 21 days for your every move in this tournament and there is no timebank which is probably a good thing, considering the already quite long thinking times. 24 players started this tournament and they were divided into two 12 player groups. I am playing on group 2 which is played quite a lot slower than group 1 which is even already decided, so the winner of that group is already known. In group two, however, there are still seven players that have chances to win the group. The winner or winners of the group will advance to the second round. I am doing quite well so far in the tournament as I have not suffered any loss of points in the first six games. There are still 16 games for me to finish, so it is too early to tell how well I am going to finish the tournament. If I start at some point getting my game load down enough, maybe even these games will speed up a bit. Couple of days ago my game load did increase with about ten games as one of the tournaments that I am playing at went to its second round. I had completely forgotten about that tournament of course since the time between the rounds for me were most likely weeks that may turned into months at some point. Time seems to go so fast for me that it is really hard to keep track of all the things like that at this point. I have added one mate in one, two mate in twos, one mate in three and one mate in eleven.
