C10 French with 3.Nc3: Unusual Black 3rd moves and 3...dxe4 (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Be7 5.Nf3 Nd7 6.Bd3 Ngf6 7.O-O Nxe4 8.Bxe4 Nf6 9.Bd3 O-O)

This game was played in a team match called Un-Orthodox CHESS vs Night's Watch (at Castle Black). It was played between The Un-Orthodox and The Night's Watch at Castle Black. It was played on eight boards and I played on board 1 for The Night's Watch at Castle Black. The match ended 9 - 7 in favor of The Un-Orthodox. I have been able to decrease the amount of games I play quite nicely in the past few days and I have now 169 games in progress. In slightly over five months, the amount of my simultaneous games has decreased from 300 to 169. This might mean that it would take the rest of the year to finish all my games, some might even be in progress at the start of next year. However, I will not try to get rid of all of them but instead get my game load to much more reasonable amount. Even now it does feel that I have freed up a lot of time but I do need to free up quite a bit more to feel comfortable. I have added one mate in two, one mate in three, two mate in fours and one mate in five.
