It is time once more to look at my FIDE Online Arena games and tomorrow I will publish some of my Chess.com Online Chess games. After I started doing these blog updates from Monday to Friday instead of every day, it has given me some extra time on weekends to prepare the content that I am going to post in the following week. It takes some of the pressure off from doing these posts when you know that you have something to post the next day. This game was played in the first round of a rapid chess tournament at the FIDE Online Arena. Whenever I lose in the first round against a player who is rated almost 300 points lower than me, I just know the tournament will not go well for me. This tournament did not end up as a huge disaster even with this bad start, admittedly it was not a huge success either because I won three games and lost two. It was slightly on the negative side still because the last round game I did win but only because my opponent did not make any moves in that game and lost on time. All my opponents were also lower rated than me to make my results even worse.
I have played some games again at the FIDE Online Arena again, today I played a couple of 15 minute games against a friend of mine there that are part of the 100 game match that we agreed to play. It has been going on quite a long time, because the first games were played two years ago I think. Then the match halted for some reason or the other for that two year period and then this year we continued the match again. The first 20 games were the old games of that match and were played at ICC, now we have played another 20 games, this time at the FIDE Online Arena. After the first twenty games my friend lead the series 10.5 - 9.5 but now the match has taken a different direction all together and I now lead the match 23.5 - 16.5. There are still 60 games to play so anything can happen but at the moment it does look good for me. I have added two mate in one, one mate in two, one mate in five and one mate in six puzzle today.
