As my hunt for the title continued on December 8th, I ended up playing seven games during this same day. The game below was my fifth game of the day. I really wanted to get the game requirement for the Arena International Master title done as soon as possible and now that the first four games seemed to be over quickly, I thought that I might as well play more games and see if the other ones are over as quickly as the four previous ones were. As this was my 39th rapid game, I still needed to play 11 games in a decent manner to obtain the new title. Losing this game did not really bring my confidence up, but the doubt began to grow whether or not I am going to mess things up again. I did end up playing two more games against Costache Florin Remus on December 8th and those went well enough that I thought I am able to do this without any problems and it is in fact only matter of playing the games I had left in order to achieve my goal. Admittedly nothing was certain at this point, had I lost enough games in a row, the game counter would have reset again.
In theory the move order for this opening is 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nf6. The first mistake of the game is seen when I played 9...e4, I am not sure why I played it to be honest. I should have played maybe Rc8 or Qd7 instead of e4. My opponent follows the right path until he plays 12.Qa5 which gives me some breathing room and the position is about even after that. Had he taken on d7, my position would have looked quite bad. The next clear disturbance in the balance came when I played 18...Rc7, which tips the balance in favor of my opponent. Stockfish seems to think that I should have pushed my h-pawn forward instead. When I played 21...a5, my position went further down the drain. The balance is restored immediately with the reply 22.Nf5, much better was Ne2 according to Stockfish. After this, I blunder the game away with 22...Rb8. Costache plays the rest of the game accurately enough, so that I am no longer able to bring the game in balance and I pretty much have to resign after he played 45.Qf4 because all my counterplay options are exhausted with that move.
