I had a nice game, where I blundered horribly at the end then lost.

I just wanted to submit my latest tournament game, between me and some player rated over 1600. I was told before the game that this guys rating was deceptive because in the last months he has been beating many guys rated 1800 and higher, including some of my friends.

I decided for the first time to make an effort to write down my thoughts immediately after the game - those lines I had calculated OTB, as well as sometimes when my opponent surprised me I included the moves I more expected.

This is the game, I think it is quite interesting

In the end in time trouble I miscalculated - thinking I saw a quicker win, I abandoned the plans I had already analysed that I am sure were winning. I included those lines that I calculated during the game, but I have not analysed them properly or done any further work yet.

In particular you may find the opening interesting/unusual, as even though I am a c4 player I had before this game no preparation against e6. An oversight I am now working on! Being on my own I tried my best to find some sort of sensible play but really almost immediately gave away equality or worse. Some of my opponents moves I believe allowed me back to having some advantage.

This game is a 90|30 live game, annotated by my opponent and friend, -waller-

hi gm melik good to see the show is back.perhaps you can include the following scandinavian in the show.

Hmm, after not playing for a while suddenly all the games come at once. Last night I was called up to play OTB again. I played my first ever Sicilian! I have been studying it for a while but only grew the balls to actually finally play it last night.

Played this game against a friend of mine recently. Time controls were 30 moves in 75 minutes + 20 minutes to finish.

Am I really posting another game? Why not! Lol. Played OTB last night, my 2nd ever Sicilian game! This time I faced some weird 2. Bc4 stuff. We ended up in some strange transposition to lines of the English that I play as white.

Hi GM Melik , I am posting the following sicilian that I played for possible inclusion on the show.

hi GM Melik, i thought i would show another sicilian line i played for your assessment ..either one of my 2 games i like but no doubt there are mistakes that we can learn from.

I just finished this game and thought that both sides played very well. It might be a little boring but there was a lot of calculating involved trying to mate/not get mated so it might be good.

hi Melik perhaps you might include the following game on the show ..I think it highlights  the importance of piece development and coordination.
