C90 Closed Spanish Game with 7...d6: Early deviations (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O b5 6.Bb3 Be7 7.Re1 O-O 8.c3 d6 9.d3 Na5 10.Bc2 c5 11.Nbd2 Qc7 12.Nf1 Bd7)

This game was played in a team match called Obsessive try again!! It is a match that is played between Obsessive Chess Disorder!! and CzechoSlovakia * ČeskoSlovensko on 40 boards. I played on board 15 for OCD and ended my games in this match to the loss seen below. I did manage to win my other game against arpadsusniflinta, so I did help the team in the form of a point at least. It did not help much because our team has to accept the loss in this match after all the games have ended as the score is 24 - 44 in favor of our opponent. This match is played with thinking times of 3 days per move and the people who participated will play only one game simultaneously.

Yesterday, for the first time in maybe over year, I got my game load decreased below one hundred! Of course that meant that I had to face more losses but still I am feeling a bit better now that I have only 97 games in progress than I did when I had 270+ games in progress for several months. The fact that my ratings have somewhat plummeted both at Chess.com and at Red Hot Pawn at the same time that the amount of simultaneous games has decreased, is quite troublesome for me. I am not sure what has actually changed in the way that I play in these two sites that would cause the sudden drop in my ratings. It might be possible that because my playing style has not changed, my play has become too predictable and that might be my downfall. I may need to start playing in a more unpredictable manner and see what effect it has on the results I get.
