I am in my second season in playing in the Team 45/45 league on the Internet Chess Club. These games are a good simulation of tournament length games. In fact, I always set up my wood board and make my moves in order to further simulate over-the board play. This league is very challenging. It doesn't seem to matter what one's rating is, it is very difficult to win. I started 1-5 on board 1, playing the top seeded opponents. This tourney, T84, I am on Board 3 or 2, and have now won my last 2 games, which I post here.

Here I chose the Be2 line in the Najdorf/Sheveningen, which is supposed to be the quieter response, but I have scored some quick wins with it.
