This was played at Chess.com in a team match called 2. The match was played between Team Bulgaria United and Magnus Carlsen Group on 17 boards. I played on board 3 and considering the rating difference between me and my opponent, I was not able to get a good result from the two games because I lost my other game against crisdim. Team Bulgaria United was the clear winner of this match because the match ended 27 - 7 in their favor. We lost fourteen of those games due to timeouts... It is always sad when most of the games are lost due to timeouts because the match is basically forfeited by those players. Players who actually want to fight for the win like me do not have any real importance in the match like this because our wins or possible wins can't change the outcome of the match. This match finished on August 3rd 2015, the same day that the game below ended. I have added two mate in four, two mate in five and one mate in seven puzzle today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts and feel free to share my posts!
