I may need to think about the way I name I posts again because the stuff I put between () signs may not be accurate to all games that end up in the post due to move order. The only reason I put anything there at all is that I need to differentiate between games that follow theory different amount of moves, but the name of the opening played in the game would still be the same. Maybe I should have put all the games featuring the B00 Queen's Fianchetto Defence, Nimzowitsch Defence, for instance, in the same post and then only typed about the theoretical difference of the games, but somehow I still prefer the way I do these posts now.
The game below was played in a team match called The Simpsons New Match. It was played on 50 boards between "SIMPSONS" and Chess Champ. I played on board 7 for Chess Champ and I was able to win both of my games against Ruferto1944. I think this game was the last one to finish in this match, it was not the first time that my game was the last one to end and it most likely will not be the last time, considering how much time I use for each move, most of it does not go into the actual thinking of one particular position, but instead many positions at the same time need solving. And I need to sleep at some point too... My time per move is 1 day and 20 hours currently at Chess.com, so I have made my moves a bit quicker on average than in the past when the time I use per move was over 2 days on average. My hastened moves have also reflected negatively on my rating because it just keeps going steadily down. It is not the only reason for it, but it is a major contributor to the results.
The move 3...Bg4 I have seen quite a few times and this was the second time that I chose to play 4.Be2 in response. In the first game to feature the position after 4.Be2 Arayn played 4...h5. Ruferto1944 played 4...Nf6 in this game, which is obviously a better alternative. Ruferto1944 made some inaccuracies, which when added together, resulted in a clear advantage for me when my opponent played 9...Qd7 in the position below.
The game continued with the moves 10.Bg5 Bg7. Then I played 11.Be2, which gave some of my advantage away. With his 12th move Ruferto1944 took another wrong path. My opponent played 12...a6 in the position below. In reply I played 13.Qg3, throwing some of my advantage away once again.
The game continued with mistakes done by both players and shifted quite a lot until we reached the position you can see below. I was on only slightly better side of the board, but because Ruferto1944 played 29...Ne3, I had another chance to get a clear advantage.
I was accurate enough to not only get a clear advantage, but also prevent my opponent to get back into the game. Then on his 34th move Ruferto1944 made the blunder that quickly ended the game because 34...Kh6 allowed a mate in two moves.
