A20 English Opening: 1...e5 (1.c4 d6 2.g3 e5 3.Bg2)

I wonder if I can still see a day when I am playing under 100 games simultaneously as the last few months I have played over 270 games constantly and now I have 289 games in progress. The biggest reason my game load has not decreased all that significantly is the team matches I play at Chess.com, well being a member of 67 teams currently does mean a lot of team matches are created that I could join if I would like to add more games. I have tried to avoid most team matches but whenever there is a team match that they ask me personally to join and the team I would represent is underrated I may join the match to try and make it more evenly matched. For this reason I have also avoided joining all the teams I get invited for some time at least. I have added ten more puzzles that are divided in to mate in one, two, three and the newly created mate in 10 pages.
