C63 Spanish Game: Schliemann/Jaenisch Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 Nf6 5.Nc3 Be7 6.O-O d6)

Maybe a bit unfortunately one more short game that features an opening that I have not covered before. There will be more games in this line in the distant future that most likely are going to be longer than the game I will share today, but until then this will have to do. The game below was played in a team match called We are alive. It is played between psychedelic lollipop and GOTHIC. The match is played on ten boards and the score is at the moment 8 - 10 in favor of GOTHIC. I played on this match on board 1 for psychedelic lollipop and ended up winning both my games against Erikson15 on time because his account was closed by Chess.com due to cheating apparently. I have never understood why people would want to cheat in chess. If winning is that important to you, I would suggest either doing something else where the winning might be easier or improve your skills enough that you would win more chess games on your own. For example, the amount of work I have done to improve my chess in the last year has been fruitful as I have steadily improved my rating on sites I actively play. I have even been able to get to 98.8 percentile at Chess.com due to my Online Chess rating of 1960! My goal is to be on the 99 percentile and above at some point. I still have not been able to break my Online Chess rating record that I have had since January 15th 2009. I am only 14 points away though which means that if couple of games end favorably for me before the losses start again that peak rating will be set to new heights in the near future. I have also added two mate in twos, one mate in four and two mate in six puzzles today.
