Game of the Week: Bullet Chess--Simplified

Game of the Week: Bullet Chess--Simplified

The game below comes from my most recent bullet tournament (for a story about that, visit here.) It's not the most amazing game ever, but considering the nature of bullet chess, I thought it was worth sharing. The game had relatively few blunders on both sides. 
Time control was 2|1. I play basically the same opening every game, but early on, my opponent forced me to change strategy. This particular player traded pieces off every chance he got. Kind of annoying to me, but it worked out in my favor.
Unfortunately for him, after we had traded everything off, he blundered! After a simple promotion, I came to an easy win. It's not often I play a full bullet game, come to the endgame, and then promote, with just under a minute still left on my clock!
Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment below!

As an intermediate-level player, I hope to provide a point of view on chess that is relatable and fun. Please check out my blog intro here!

Once a week, I post an analysis of one of my own games. I personally believe that self-analysis is critical to the development of the chess player. You can read my story (as relates to analysis) in my article, Why Analyze? 

In addition to my weekly game analyses, I also occasionally post my thoughts on some chess-related topic, such as resignation or stalemate. If you have a topic you would like me to see me write about, please message me with your idea. I would love to hear from you! happy.png

I also have a standing invitation to all members: send me your games! I analyze my own games all the time, and I would be more than happy to analyze some of yours. Now because of the time involved, I cannot commit to analyzing every single game I receive, but I will definitely look over every game I get, and I will do my best to do a full analysis and post it to my blog. 

Sincerely,

Isaac
