My Best Win on Bullet

Sort:
Saluang-Tewei

This is my BEST WIN on the Live Chess - Bullet. I've managed to beat an opponent who has the highest ratings among my other opponents. I was wondering why I was so easy to defeat him. In fact, it was much easier than I beat an opponent who has a range of points between 1700-2000.

I guess everyone makes mistakes in bullet, so when he saw you throw away your rook he must have thought it was a massive blunder and taken it - you don't have time to think in bullet. He was easy to beat because he forgot that you had him a move away from checkmate I guess

Hi Saluang-Tewei--that's a good question, because white kept a solid advantage until move 14, when ...b6? could've been answered by the huge push 15. e5! safely.  He overlooked e5 again on move 16 (...Bxd5 17. exd6+, etc.) but really only went downhill on move 17 with Bc3?.  This lost the crucial g1-a7 diagonal and set up 17...Rhe8 to overload white's queen, a response even stronger than when it was played on the following turn.  19. b4?? was the ultimate stinker though, losing the day even after ...Rxe4 20. Qg2.  White absolutely needed to play 19. Be5 instead, when ...f6 is answered with b4, then Bb5, and your opponent cuts his losses.  So to make a long story short, "moves 17 & 19" is the answer to your question.
