BubbaTough crushes me yet again, but this time I didn't lose out of the opening. Why? Because I looked up the opening!

Did not memorize lines but saw the main ideas in the opening. Opening prep FTW. Of course I lost the game because I'm the weaker player but I could at least make a game out of it unlike the first time, and on a different day maybe even the outcome would have been different.

This 5. Bd3 Seirawan variation is a bit annoying for KID players. Looks like if white wants a slower maneuvering game, he can get it in this line.

Hi Jesse!

Here is a game I played in the Raburn Series Premier League, a chess.com team round-robin founded by the Illinois High School Chess Association (IHSA). This is week 7 of the competition and I found myself on board 2 for my team, the "SteamROLers", vs the opponent, "Socially Distant Opposition". While my team would proceed to lose the match, I was rather pleased with my victory versus National Master Mitch Fishbein (@everyfishknows), which I believe to be one of my most accurate wins against a titled opponent. The time control of the game is 15 + 10. I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on the game and my comments!

Sad thing is my OTB games were played 7 months ago (before lockdown) and at that time I was 1300 online, now I am 1700, but online games are not so instructive, they are for practice. So I dont have any games 😭
