Duckfest Luckfest Part 3 Divine Intervention
No no no no, that shit wasn’t luck.
This was divine intervention. You know what “divine intervention” is?
That’s right! That’s exactly what it means. God came down from Heaven and stopped these motherfucking bullets.
Don’t do that! Don’t fucking blow this shit up! What just happened here was a fucking miracle!
Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn’t just happen.
We should be fucking dead my friend! What happened here was a miracle and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!

Divine Intervention
A game played against my friend Pouchkine75. It was the first time we played a live game it became immediately clear we both wanted to win. The game was fun to play, very challenging, incredibly exciting and totally exhausting. My heart rate near the end of the game was approaching 180 beats per minute.
The opening phase
While not a flawless opening for either of us, it was okay overall. My position was solid and I had move space. I felt confident and was happy with my position.
The middle game
Slowly, but steadily my position improved and by move 25 I had a dominating position. According to Stockfish the position had an evaluation of around + 9 to + 10. By now my opponent had less than 2 minutes while I still had more than 3 minutes on the clock. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong?
The end game
What can I say. I had dominant position that was virtually impossible to lose. Somehow I got stuck in the closed position and didn't see a way through. Instead of confidently breaking through and overrunning my opponent, my nerves got the better of me and I wasted too much time. And suddenly I was the one low on time and in serious trouble. I still had a winning position, but no time to win before my clock ran out. I had no other option than to pray for a miracle.
Thanks for reading.
