B15 Caro-Kann: 3.Nc3: 3...g6 and 3...dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Nxf6+ exf6 (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 e6 4.Nf3 Nf6)
The game below was the 40th consecutive rapid game for me with a rating of 1700 or above at FIDE Online Arena and I needed to play 10 more games to receive my second official FIDE title. This was my second consecutive game against Costache Florin Remus and my sixth rapid game on December 8th. As far as I can remember, all of these games were played rather quickly. This certainly was a good thing as long as my results were good enough so that my rating did not drop alarmingly close to 1700 or below it which would have been a disaster as it would have reset the game counter again.
The first mistake of the game might have been when my opponent played 5...a6, it was better to play Be7 and get the development going. Costache is clearly behind in development after this, but because I did not play efficiently enough, my opponent was not punished so severely on his misplay. Then on move 8, I played Bh4 which gave the advantage I had to Costache. He does give that small advantage back immediately, so I survived my mistake without any punishment from my opponent. The next inaccuracy saw the light of day when I played 15.Ne5, which brings the game back to a balanced state. Costache replies with Rc8, which is a rather passive square for the rook, it was better to play c5 in order to open the long diagonal for the bishop. I foolishy replied with Ng4 because I wanted to trade the knights and perhaps get my queen to the kingside in order to get something going there.
Both players kept making bad moves, but when I played 21.c4, I suffered quite a long time until my opponent blundered the game away with the move 37...Re1. Between those two moves, I was at times completely lost. After the move of 37...Re1, I was not about to give my opponent any more chances and won the game with reasonable ease. I would like to mention one thing though, on move 49 Costache plays hxg3 and while that is the final mistake in my opinion, it might have been his best chance to get some counterplay. I did see though that I can force the trade of queens and then my b-pawn becomes unstoppable. Had I not traded queens at this point, I might have had some technical problems.
