The games that I have finished lately at Chess.com will be added to the blog tomorrow including the 400th Online Chess game I have played there. Unless more games finish there before I make my post tomorrow, all the correspondence games I have played there are then published in this blog, well long enough games anyway. Friday I will post my latest games from GameKnot and Red Hot Pawn if more games do not end in those sites before then that is. The game below was played in the first round of the Maximum ! tournament that is held at Chess.com. It is named like that because the tournament uses the maximum thinking time available in Online Chess games at Chess.com which has a 14 day per move time limit. I am currently on eight place in group #4 and I have gathered 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the 17 games I have finished so far. There are five games still left for me to finish and if I happen to win them all, I will end up on third place in this group. That would also mean that I would advance to the second round. If there is a tournament where I would not like to advance to the next round, it would be this one. The thinking times are a bit too long, so I will forget what I was thinking about the last time I had to move in one of my games that have this 14 days per move time limit. My memory of the positions does differ from position to position though, it depends on how long I have actually used time to think about the current position on the board. I have added one mate in one, two mate in three, one mate in five and one mate in six puzzle today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
