C54 Giuoco Piano: 4.c3 Nf6, main lines with 5.d4 and 5.d3 (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 a6 5.O-O Nf6 6.d3)
It took me some time, but I did manage to find yet another never before seen opening as far as this blog is concerned that is. Well, only for today as I did not have enough time to look further in my databases, so tomorrow is going to be another busy day, especially as I need to go and try to teach some chess again which will take some precious time away from looking through my databases. I have managed to find something to post everytime I have thought that this must be the end of new opening variations or chess960 starting positions.
This game was played in the second round of the tournament that was played in 2003 at Salo. I started plaing in over the board tournaments back in May 2001 and I think I got my first win in my thirteenth game, but I never had all that much success in these tournaments until something changed big time in the way I played the game. I had to reach a very low rating until things started to go the right way for me. I played in this same tournament a year before and then I lost all my games. After that tournament I just started to play a lot of games against the various characters in Chessmaster 8000 and I also started doing those exercises in it and it might have been the biggest reason why the next time I played OTB chess my climb through ratings seemed very easy. During the year that passed between this tournament and the one I played almost exactly a year ago before this one, I had increased my rating over 200 points. After this tournament my rating had increased 295 points from that lowest ever rating!! I do not remember a single occasion during that year that my rating would have dropped. Not only that but I had increased my rating 73 points in the tournament before this one and in this one I increased my rating 74 points. Clearly I had done something right after that disaster of a tournament. The game below was my first win in this tournament, but the first round draw also increased my rating because I faced an opponent that outrated me by almost 300 points.
