A Random Game #1: Here's Hoping

Good morning everyone! Welcome to the first episode of the Random Game series!

Each post I make from this series, I'm going to go online and play a game. I'll analyze it and post it. Hopefully I won't embarrass myself in the process, but I guess we'll see...

(And don't worry, I'll still be posting other content as well)

We'll be exploring the fascinating mind of the 700 elo, and the alien realm of mistakes, blunders, inaccuracies, and accidentally brilliant moves.

So without further ado, let's get started with game number 1.


Well, it could have gone better. I played a decent opening, but really fell apart during the middlegame. This was a really instructive example of pawn forks, which I really should be on the lookout for. 

And... that's it. Thanks for reading!

May your tactics stay sharp.

Hi guys! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jacob, and I’ve been an avid chess player for 9 years.

I’m rated around 1000 elo on chess.com, with an inaccurate FIDE rating because I never play OTB. 

I love to blog about my own games and chess history. I love daily games and accept any challenge 🙂. I'm currently participating in BlogChamps, and my goal is to become a Top Blogger, however long that may take!

The crowning glory of my career was my post about the Caro Crab, which can be found on my blogs page. This post won 4th place in BlogChamps' first ever April Fools contest.

I'm an active participant in every club I join, but I'm very selective about my clubs because I want to only be in clubs that will challenge me to improve my play.

I’m currently very busy, so it may take me a day or two to respond to DMs.

If you enjoy my content, please drop a comment, and read my other posts as well!

May your tactics stay sharp.
