A fast game in a slow night.

I played this 5/0 game a short time ago and lightly annotated it with my post-game observations (showing why blitz often forgives weaker moves).  My opponent and I were almost evenly rated.

Pretty nice.  You're relentless in your attack.  I found I kind of curious that on 16 not me chose Be6 instead of exf, but that's life in blitz-world.  Good game.

Thanks.  I find it's easier to attack than defend, and under a heavy attack people often make even weaker moves that they might otherwise make (though, as I demonstrated, the attacker is pretty capable of finding second-rate moves too... but they're not usually  a self-destructive).

Keeping a cool head under pressure - that's the ticket.

Not me is closely related to NN and both have similar stats.

But his 600 year lifespan must offer adequate compensation :-)

Now I feel bad for spamming in batgirl's thread, so back to the game...  It was a good drubbin' you gave poor old notme :-) At 5|0 time controls, I suck pretty bad, so I'm suitably impressed!

Spam away. . .  blitz is for fun.

Nope, it's blitz.

"Experienced players wouldn't fall into it..."

Experience players are all the time falling into places they wished they'd never seen and in 5/0 they do it a lot. What saves most people is that their opponent also can't see everything in a few seconds either.
