Lucky. I wish more of my opponents played like drunken sailors, though it does happen late at night!

Things you depend on break...people you depend on don't show.

@batgirl, love how your pieces fell into coordination at the end :-)
"Fell into" it is about right. He played on after throwing away his Knight, but I think his confidence was gone too, so he pretty much let me have my way..
It's a proof that chess and beer will bring anybody to the top! 😉

Not really, but there's a story nonetheless (and hopefully it's better than the game).
I had a particularly annoying day a work. I came home (I'm only a 10 minute walk away) and went for a bike ride in the country to work off the stress. When I got home after an hour of pedaling, I was still somewhat miffed. I posted a prepared forum article then grabbed a handful of Cape Cod Kettle chips and and popped the top off a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA which I like for the 65 IBU but I tend to forget it's also 7.2% abv. which is a lot for my 120 lb. frame. With my stash in hand I sat down and played this 3/2 blitz game. Just as I pressed play, I became aware that I was probably going to lose since I was starting to feel the unavoidable buzz, something that makes usually me overlook the obvious. But Caissa must have been my drinking companion because my opponent, bless his heart, was the one who played like a drunken sailor in this Alekhine Defense.
