Rating back to normal

Posted by GilaChess

‘Normal’ in this case is around 1600-1700. Previous WCN rating was at 1400+.

I’m at a relative’s house using Maxis broadband instead of TMNet Streamyx. Needless to say there is almost no incidents of disconnection and that has helped push my overall rating to about 1700.

I just wanted to ‘repair’ my rating after the horrible connections from Streamyx sabotaged my games last week. Hence, I didn’t dare to try out new openings. Here’s a game where the Portuguese variation (of the Scandinavian) triumped :-
