1847 vs 1198 blitz - Can the lower rated one win ?

Let's say that he blunders queen on move 3 and not just that but also a bishop in move 4 and let's top it off with another bishop blunder in move 6 , would you say that with such a vast difference the other one had a chance ?  Maybe the answer is still a bit weird but...

How about if the one who blundered all those pieces was the 1198 rated one ?! Then it should naturally be a quick stomp, right ?

NO ! Because there is always the -UNDERESTIMATING YOUR OPPONENT - factor . 

1198 wins the mind and the chess game

 

Seeing such a monster compared to my rating , i thought that i had to cheese my way through, i thought of the simple mates, but i thought that if i couldn't make it work , he would probably utterly destroy me so what followed was a sneaky way of making him underestimate me . I opened with the Scandinavian - an opening that from what i have heard , is an aggresive one -already laying down my first trap - making him feel like an elephant getting poked by an ant . What followed was ... out of this world though . I started big by blundering the queen and continued with what i had then i started playing gradually more and more seriously ! As soon as i noticed that he felt for the bait ( him, blundering away his own queen ) i decided to go all in !

My sneakiest yet , my favourite victory so far !
