    Know them cold.

    There's nothing special in this game, except that I made my last twelve moves in under four seconds.

    Why did you play 29. Nd5? Doesn't that lose the rook?

    It should have, but my opponent missed it longer than I did. That was my worst move of the game, although there are several other howlers, too.

    I actually managed to smother mate someone today, but it seemed to help that they knew the pattern. The combo leading to it wasn't forced by any means.

    I always get excited when I get a smother, especially when I can force a mate in five.

    Othello smothered Desdemone (his mate). Did that make him a tragic chessplayer?
