Description
I’d lost 100 Elo on tilt. This time I sat down at 1406, won four of five rapid games and finished at 1428. I hit record just after the first win, so here are the three I caught, all with the black pieces.
My first two opponents reached the same opening position, and I answered with ...f5 both times. In one game my queen landed right under a pawn’s nose. In the other I got a pawn to d2. In the last game I was rated 1417 and my opponent was 1545. Watch where the white king ends up.
0:00 Four wins, three recorded
0:22 Why the pawn can’t take my queen
5:27 The same opening, a pawn on d2
11:19 1417 vs 1545
