I think I will cover games from Chess.com and Red Hot Pawn on alternating days from now on as long as there are games to cover from those sites. So today I look at games from Red Hot Pawn and tomorrow games from Chess.com and so on. The end in this game is mysterious to me as I am not sure what happened in my brain when I played 22.Bc4 instead of just taking back the rook. Admittedly I would have been lost either way but had I taken the rook, I might have been able to struggle on for a bit longer. This was played in the second round of a tournament called 2014 August Banded Quartets I 1700-1800. In the first round of this tournament I was able to advance to this second round fairly easily but the second round I was lost almost every game. I ended up being fourth in the final group that consisted of five players. My opponent in this game, chessicle, won the second round and at the same time the whole tournament by winning all his games on the second round. From the 14 games he played in this tournament he was able to win 12, draw 1 and lose 1. In comparison I played 16 games, won 9 of them, drew 2 and lost 5 games. The difference in the total games played comes from the fact that I played on the first round in a group that had five players, while chessicle played in a group with 4 players. I have also added three mate in ones, one mate in two and one mate in six today.
