B57 Classical Sicilian: Sozin with 6...Qb6 (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Bd3 Nf6 7.O-O Nc6 8.Nb3 Be7 9.Be3 b5 10.a3 d6 11.f4 O-O 12.Qf3 Bb7)

This is my latest game from Queen Alice Internet Chess Club. This is fourth loss in a row for me there which is not good but then again the opponents I have faced there have been quite good. The average rating of my opponents has been much higher on Queen Alice Internet Chess Club than it has on any other site. In the last ten games I have played there, the average rating of my opponents is around 2247 and I have been able to only win two of those games, played two draws and lost six. On other sites that average is below 1800, sometimes even far below that. The game below was played in the second and final round of the AUTO-MASTER-2135 tournament that is in progress at the Queen Alice Internet Chess Club. In this second round I have lost both of my games against Franzel and have two games in progress against Evandrobit and after those games have ended, I have finished the tournament. If I either draw or win one of my remaining games, Franzel will win the tournament. If I lose both of the remaining games, then the win of the tournament is shared with Evandrobit and Franzel. In the first round I faced much more maintainable opponents and I won my first round group with a maximum score. I have added two mate in ones, two mate in twos and one mate in four today.
