Bullet is a lot of fun after 4 shots 
Playing fast on a board is a lot harder of course. I definitely prefer online.

"Where there's a knight, there's hope" - I'm thinking of putting that on a tee shirt.
Well done Macer, that's actually a really entertaining game. In yr position I'd have resigned but you fought back and won!
bullet = <3mins blitz = <10 mins rapid = 15|10 standard = 30|0
this epic fried liver defense
What a comeback!

Well, to be fair, to win I also needed the pawn...
Btw, on the site where I played this particular game (*wink wink*), I seem to be really drawish for some reason, which is not the case at all when I play on chess.com, particularly in live chess. Here's my record in blitz:
That was OK

If you're playing chess online drunk, it sounds like you're drinking by yourself. That's a problem.
Ouchhh this one hurts my brain

Yeah, it's definitely something I have to consider, you're right.
I think people warn against drinking alone due to addiction, but addiction (to alcohol) isn't that simple. It has to do with how their brain reacts chemically, their personality, and how they manage stress.
Lately my go to way to relax has been drinking every day in the evening, so I'm certainly risking it, but I'd call it more a habit than an addiction. I've noticed I'm going through a bottle pretty fast though, and I didn't like that, so I haven't had anything to drink since I ran out (last Sunday), and I'm fine.
If I don't start making a new routine though, I'll probably go back to it.

Yeah, that's the one mistake my opponent made in the game.

if 18....h5, black might have started a thread with the same title and then it wouldn't have been just the first 99 metres.
World champion playing casual online blitz on chess.com.
I also prefer the 3|0 seen in this video
