I strongly suggest you to read it - its a sad story about proffesional chess players at the first quarter of 20th century.

Btw, Smash, are you a mod here? I didnt notice that before.

 

[Smash]

10.c3 Qc7

Yes I am a mod here.Been around the "civ scene" for about 6 or 7 years now.

 

[spy]

Usually i have bad relations with mods, you know? Once they even banned me - i was the top spammer in another game boards - currently second. But that was only because of their attitude. Oh, our chess game!

[Smash]

I have never banned anybody but it is nice to know I have a secret weapon should the game go badly for me

When/where did you acheive your IM norms?

 

[spy]

Oh, well, i am not sure if you are not mixing the position - i took the bishop on f1 with my king (K) and not knight (N). I hope i am wrong.

17.a4 c4
18.N:c4

I had to complete 4 IM norms. The first one i got from World chess Olympiad, the second and third were from national championships, but the fourth was from European youth championships few years ago. Last year i was very close to my first GM norm but failed. How about you - whats your strength?

 

[Smash]

Yes I have king taking on f1.I have a plan .Maybe a bad plan,but bad plan is better than no plan

17.a4 c4
18.Nxc4 Nb4

My last published OTB rating put me 8 points over National Master category.To be honest, I did submit somewhat to quantity over quality for last 20 points or so

 

[spy]

Yes, i agree - a bad plan is much better than without one. But maybe this plan isnt that bad. What is OTB, is it similar to ELO?

17.a4 c4

19.c:b4

I offer 19...Q:c4 20.Q:c4 R:c4 21.N:e5. Agreed?

 

[Smash]

OTB-over the board.Face to face at tournament time control(IE- 40/90).

Agreed.
