A31 Symmetrical English: 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 (1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.d4 c5 4.dxc5)

This is the game that ruined my chances of ending the year with a win at GameKnot. I do not feel that bad though as I am quite likely to end the year with a win on other sites I play correspondence chess. There is still time though to change that... I do not know what it is but I can't really play on GameKnot as well as I can play on other sites because if I could, my rating would not be as low it is at the moment, only barely over 1700. Maybe it is due to the openings I try out there as I do not play the same stuff on any other site. I should try and play stuff I am more familiar with in order to check if it significantly changes the outcome more to my favor. Then again I have made stupid blunders there in a few games which are completely unrelated to the opening. I have added ten more puzzles that are divided in to mate in one, two, three and four pages. Tomorrow I shall update ten more puzzles so that there are 500 puzzles by the end of the year, well in my timezone at least it will be still the year 2014. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts.
