I recently completed another correspondence chess game at ICC. This is the first time that I have played McNiff and his first completed correspondence chess game. I tried to play the Cambridge Springs defense but my opponent avoided it by not playing Bg5. So, I transposed into a Queens Gambit Declined, semi-Slav: Meran, Reynolds' variation. I used MCO - 14 to guide me through the opening but my opponent got me out of my book on move 10. It didn't take me long to get into trouble in an opening that I don't know and then to lose! The complete game, with analysis and diagrams, can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/McNiff-QueensGambitDeclined.html. Here is the game in PGN.
