I want this thread to be a motivation to the newcomers and the rest.

I've just played 8 live games with a player , that I concider strong and definitely with more experience then me, with the time limit 3|2 mins.

I fought hard each game, but somehow lost on time or blundered or simply missed something. I lost one,then second , then third I was sooo close, but still loose , he already won 3,4 games in a row and I didn't win a single. I was frustrated,discoraged BUT I believed in myself that I'm stronger then him! That I can win him ! I can do it !

And finally I did it 😀 ! After loosing 7 games in a row I won my last game with him.

ESP-918

Here is the last game I've played with him , which I think was a beautiful game and I deserve this win.

After losing a number of 10 min games due to time and blunders due to time pressure  i pulled off this elegant two queen ending 

ESP-918

Well jamesmoffat : I'm not impressed at all.

Your rating is 659 and you are playing the guy 555 ? ? ? Why? Next time play someone 200 rated so you can win even easier.

The guy is clearly less experienced then you, yet it took you 2 3moves to finish him.

I don't see anything brilliant here

You should be playing people 800ish 900ish range going closer to 1000

The Law of Quantum Gravity says that 23.Qf7+ then 24.Q3f6 mate  looks better.
