Yet Another no-so-great Game

I'm only putting this game here because it's one of the few 2/0 games I've ever played. I won on time with 11 secs. left on my clock.

are you white

batgirl

I am "me."

White is "not me."

I wonder if that opening actually works for white sometimes. Nice queen trap and not bad for a 2/0 game!

BG, I really think you are becoming a speed freak.  I love blitz, but two minutes is a little too much for me.  BTW, at the risk of being picky over a speed game, isn't 24...Qe2 mate?  You could have saved some time.  Wink

Sure is, and a nice one too.  I wish I not only would have seen it, but could have planned it.

Batgirl you are Really getting scary good at that Blitz thing !!   Cool

I just now played a 3/0 game.  My opponent was somewhat higher rated, but really messed up rather soon into the game - which, of course says nothing about my play, but does show how easy it is to go astray when the thinking time is contracted.

 


Black resigned.

Ne7 seems pretty silly - nh6 looks better.

Shredder puts black up 0.8 pawns after 7...Bg3

batgirl

Yeah, almost anything was better than 7...Ne7.
If Black is only up .8 pawns with a 3 pawn advantage, then I prefer White, at least in blitz.

shredder played it out to a draw!

batgirl

Good thing I wasn't playing shredder!

beardogjones

LOL. For the record Shr gives you a slight edge if you play 5.Kf1

batgirl

Maybe, but I love this variation in blitz since it takes a lot of people by surprise and I know some of the more common lines.
