This game is from round two of the French 2014 thematic tournament that is being played at Chess.com. This has been quite a difficult tournament for me so far, in the first round I managed to barely advance to the second round, I got only half a point more than the player who finished fourth in the group. There were a FIDE Master and an International Master playing in the same group as I was on round one and against both I got what I thought a surprising amount of points. Against the FIDE Master who was rated at the time 2456, I managed to get a draw and lost a game. The IM I won in one of the games and the other I lost. All of those games can be seen in this blog. On round two I am very close of being eliminated from the rest of the tournament once again. I have only one game left to finish and if I win that game, I will advance to the third round, otherwise I am eliminated from the tournament. It might not be a surprise to anyone at this point that it is also the last game in this round. The game is played between me and albatros1, who I faced in the game below as well. I am not sure why my opponent agreed to draw this game but I am happy he or she did because I am quite lost in the final position. I have added two mate in one, one mate in three, one mate in six and one mate in eight puzzle today.
