Another loss against a much higher rated opponent. This was played on the first round of the 2015 December Quartets I 1800+ tournament at Red Hot Pawn. I am playing in group 3, which is actually already been decided because TheBigKat won all of his or her games. It was not all that surprising because TheBigKat is not only the highest rated player in that group by over 200 points, but is also the second highest rated player on the site. Group 3 is also the strongest group of the five groups that players were divided into. Though not by much because the average rating in group 3 is 2178.5, in group 5, which has the second highest average rating, it is 2174.5. Do not get me wrong, I like to face strong players, but it just means that I will not get that many points. Actually I might not get any from this group, which might be the first time in a very long time that I do not get any points in a tournament.
As you might have noticed if you visited this blog before, I have changed the layout a bit. I prefer the current layout to the one I had before, but this may cause some problems for people who use smaller monitors as you might not get all of the blog in view horizontally at the same time without scrolling left or right. If that causes anyone who comes to see this blog annoyance, please let me know in the comments. One of the aspects that I would also like to change, but I do not know how to fix, is how the games can be replayed when you are viewing this blog in a smart phone. The chess games can be viewed without seeing the notation in my phone at least in a decent way, but I would like it to be so that you could follow both the board and the notation at the same time. Then again trying to fit all that in a small viewing space of a smart phone, might prove to be a very difficult task. Especially because I would like to get not just the moves played in the game, but also all the annotations shown at the same time too. Maybe that is too much to ask. The preferred way might be that it only shows a few moves at a time and the notation just moves when you go the game back and forth. If only I could make a game replayer myself that would change to a proper size and shape according to the device you are looking the games at. Obviously I do not possess such skills, so I have to rely on the game replayers that I am using now.
