C68 Spanish Game: Exchange Variation, sidelines (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.O-O Bd6 6.d4 f6 7.dxe5 fxe5 8.Nxe5)

This game is taken from a team match called CHOCOLATE II vs LATINO. The match is played on 58 boards and I am playing on board 4 for CHOCOLATE II. The winner of the match is clear even though not all games have finished because the score in the match is 49 - 63 in favor of Latino. There were quite many timeouts in this match unfortunately on both sides. My game load is still a bit too much, I have at the moment 152 games in progress and it will actually increase by a few games in the near future at least momentarily. In one of my games I encountered something silly awhile back. I offered a draw in a position where I had a pawn and a king and my opponent had only his king left and my opponent refused the draw!! The reason why I offered the draw was because I knew the position was completely drawn and nothing I could do would change that. My only hope to win that game would be if my opponent ran out of time. More importantly though, he can't win that position... Even if my time would run out, it would still be a draw because he does not have enough material to mate me. I send another draw offer few moves later but it might be that he does not accept that either... Well, the game will be drawn by force in a few moves anyway, so it does not matter all that much. I have added one mate in one, one mate in two, one mate in three, one mate in seven and one mate in nine puzzle today.

Game number two. This is the 24th game in the 100 game match between me and Tomi. The match is played with 15 minute time controls and the first 20 games were played in 2013. I had a good winning streak at this point in the match and I took the lead in the match with a score of 12.5 - 11.5 after this game.
