Hey hey -

Couldn't help myself and thought that I would present this live game I just had - where I only used 18 seconds on my clock! To be thorough and accurate, my opponent used 34 seconds (as he still had 26 seconds remaining), but I personally only used 18 seconds..

Honestly it was a fast and vicious game, where for the first 10 moves I didn't know if I was coming or going considering the crazy speed of play, and the high rating of my opponent - quite a worthy adversary indeed! The strangeness of the selected lines made for much discomfort at first, but then the tactics, pawn formations and so one started taking a hold, at least on a subconcious level - and when the dust settle - bam! - checkmate achieved! when I saw the combo my fingers were already in the process of making it happen - enjoy:

yep, blacks king got into some serious trouble early on. Ne6 is one of those moves that are a joy to play. It is impressive if you only took 18 seconds for the whole game!

wow!
