omg am I higher rated than you now??
He cancelled my takeback so i cancelled his rating (classical)

well tbf that didn't look like a mouseslip or an obvious blunder
i can absolutely see myself playing against someone doing that
bruh a3 is such a bad move because it does nothing for white's position, if i was going to play a3 i might as well just develop a piece instead

in classical?

I knew that tbf but I have the same problem in openings like the Grunfeld where my push in the center runs out of steam and then the Fianchetto just makes sure i end up in a worse endgame

In fianchetto grunfeld you play e3 and trap your dsb in the inside if you don’t wanna die early on
So basically i mouse slipped early game and hit the takeback button real quick but he decided "nah fam deal with it"
Since I accept all takebacks that are obvious blunders and mouse slips in classical I was pretty pissed so I resolved to beat him, and to be honest I was just really lucky but still, a win is a win
