I just added another win against Sean McKinney to me chess site. The game can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/SeanMcKinney-English.html. This game started off as a symmetrical variation and then ended up as a Botvinnik system. The final position was one in whch I forced the exchange of queens leaving two Black pawns en prise. This win raised my ICC correspondence chess rating to 1709 getting me over 1700 for the first time. My record for ICC correspondence chess games is 23-14-8. Here is the game in PGN.
