The game below is the most recently finished game of mine from GameKnot. This was played in a tournament called tedjj's mini-tournament XLIII, it is a tournament where I have played worse than in any other correspondence chess tournament. I have only one win out of five games in that tournament so far and I am currently residing in last place. The time control in the tournament is 3 days initially but you get two days added to your time after every move you make though it is limited so you can think maximum of five days each move. There are 11 players in total joining this mini-tournament and you play each player twice so both have one White and one Black against other players. I have fifteen games left to play and try to alter the course of the tournament, it will be interesting to see if I keep losing games or can I start winning some games. My rating at GameKnot is one of the lowest I have in correspondence chess sites but I do have a decent winning percentage there, though lately that has come down a bit, currently at 71% chance of me winning. It is also the only correspondence chess site where I have not played any draws in the 52 games that have ended there. I have added three mate in ones, one mate in two and one mate in seven today for you to hopefully enjoy.
