Englund Gambit: Gambit Variation

I just know it's gonna be so devastating once chess.com pairs me with decent players and I tilt -90 points in an hour after beating all of these blunderers to get to 1700

ya know, back in my day, getting from 1600 to 1700 was a really hard milestone to reach. but now it is extremely apparent to me that the new spoiled generation of 1600s doesn't understand the meaning of WORK and TOIL and STRUGGLE...
Exactly... I want to hit 1800 so bad rn

ya know, back in my day, getting from 1400 to 1500 was a really hard milestone to reach. YOU HAD TO **** PLAY GRUELING GAMES OF 15+10 WHERE GAMES TOOK 40 MINUTES AT LEAST FOR 8 RATING POINTS

that is why I play 10|0 so I can pretend that i'd be good at longer time controls yet still have time to play more than 1 game a month

thing is generally I spend <5 minutes by the end of each 15|10 game...
