More games with Sokolsky opening and Petroff will come today and tomorrow depending on my time for updating and games sent by Wilhelm, Charles, Christian and whoever wants to help. Support for such a CPU time consuming effort is of course highly welcome. This could be games played with this time control and with your favourite engines and opening, comments to the games, advice, etc..
