The game I am sharing with you all today was played at a mini team match called 1800-1900 CHESS Lounge vs TPOC. The reason why I call it a mini team match is because it was played only on one board between THE POWER OF CHESS and CHESS Lounge. I played for CHESS Lounge and I managed to win both of my games against Solomonar. I won both games on time and the only one of those two games worthy of going through is the game below. In our other game I only played two moves before my opponent ran out of time. I am not 100% sure, but I think that this was my first team match representing CHESS Lounge. I am currently part of 80 clubs, formerly known as teams at Chess.com and it is sometimes very hard to keep track on how many times I have played for them in these matches. While the result of this match was very good for us, had these two games continued past the points they were interrupted by time, the result of the match might have been completely different. The reason why I think that is mainly due to this game and how the game started to look like from my point of view towards the end of the game.
I think this game was played quite well by both players, up to my 27th move, but I think somewhere along the way it became harder for me to think of good moves than it was for my opponent. With the move 27...Kc7, I started to make playing with the black pieces in this game even harder for me because my plan turns out to be a bad one. My plan was at this point to get my king to defend against possible pawn pushes on the queenside and put my rooks on the kingside. Couple of moves later I think that my king is needed on the kingside, so I start to make my way there. I knew that I was worse at this point in the game, but I thought I should continue the game and see what happens. My position gets worse over time, but not to a point that I would see a clear win for my opponent, so I played as resistantly as I could, so that maybe at some point I could turn the game around. I usually only resign at a point where I consider the game to be lost without a shadow of a doubt. I have added one mate in one, two mate in three and two mate in four puzzles today.
