Martin0 vs. adumbrate match

Sort:
Martin0

Hi everyone, this is another match just like the MSC157 vs. Pulpofeira match and CP6033 vs. solskytz match. This time it will be a 12 game match between Martin0 and skotheim2.

Martin0 is a Swedish player with an ELO rating of 1877.

skotheim2 is a Norwegian player with an ELO rating of 1885.

Needless to say, the players are quite evenly rated, so I think it will be an interesting match. Games will be posted in this forum after they are finished and I will try to annotate the games. Feel free to predict who will be the winner and mock at will. The first game will start during the weekend.

The current standing of the match can be found here.

Match rules:

First game random color, then switch color after every game.

The scene heats up...

As being one-quarter Norwegian I guess I'll root for Martin0 75% and Skotheim2 the remaining 25%...

Cool First game on saturday!

If I take a look at both of your chess ratings in different disciplines, then is skotheim2 in my opinion the favourite due to the time control and his much better ratings in tactics and on tactics dependent types of chess like blitz and bullet.

good luck. Can I have a match with someone too? :)

solskytz

I can hardly call that a friendly response (what you got in answer for #10).

GAME 1:

Very difficult game, and was almost losing on time on some parts of the game. I had the better end position of the time scramble endgame, and grinded out the win.
(92 moves!)

skotheim2 : 1 - 0 : Martin0



adumbrate
Defiently a very possible contuniation. White has ideas like Ra4 and so on, or maybe break open the king side.

I like black in that position after b5.

Pulpofeira

Precisely!
