B33 Sicilian: Pelikan and Sveshnikov Variations (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qb6 5.Nb3 Nf6 6.Nc3 e6 7.Be3)

This is the game that put me back over 2200 at Queen Alice Internet Chess Club. It is true that the only way I managed to climb my way back from 2180, the lowest rating I had since peaking at 2201, was due to two consecutive timeout wins. The first one was against a player who was rated 2314, in that game I would have probably resigned if my opponent had made one more move and this second one was quite balanced game up all the way through. If I recall correctly, my opponent actually run out of time once before but after I had sent a move reminder, he made a move in the 24 hour time period I usually give me my opponents before I claim the win on timeout, so the game continued. This second time, there was no move made, so I had to claim the win, because I am not going to delay the tournament any longer than necessary. The game below was played in the fourth round of the szybkielanie tournament that is an invite only tournament. I am currently leading the tournament, having gathered 7 out of 8 possible points. This tournament might become one of those unfinished ones unfortunately though because there is one person yet again who is not claiming a timeout win.
