The game below is my 297th finished game from Red Hot Pawn. Once upon a time the site where I had played most of my correspondence chess games was RHP but in the last few months the number one spot has gone quite clearly to Chess.com. There I have played 405 correspondence chess games so far. Red Hot Pawn will always be a special place to me because it was the first site where I ever played correspondence chess and I will continue playing there regularly until who knows how long. This game was played in the third round of the 2014 August Banded Threesomes I 1700-1800 tournament. In round three there is only one group left and whoever wins this group, wins the tournament. This is the first and so far the only game to have finished for me in this round and even though I still have theoretical chances to win the group and the tournament, I think that it is very unlikely thing to happen. At least considering how the other games are going. I advanced from the first round with one other player as we tied on points. The second round was a bit easier for me and I advanced to the third round with relative ease, this time I was the sole winner of the group. During this third round I have even dropped my rating so much at Red Hot Pawn that I am now the weakest player in this round, based on the rating that is. Well, there might not have been that huge drop because I was probably only third highest anyway in this four people group before my rating started to drop.
