Originally posted by paulbuchmanfromficsInteresting game. Since I have returned to OTB play I have been caught in some opening traps because I do not remember my openings that I once memorized. Here I can just look them up and follow a line that I think looks good. Except on blitz. Not enough time to be looking up openings.

I would not have gotten in that first trap anyway, since I usually try to develop at least one knight first before any other piece. I still do not know what happened to my opponent on my blitz game, because it seems like he was satisfied with being a pawn up and quit playing with over 4 minutes left on the clock. I just kept waiting and waiting until his clock went to zero. I was not given a win though, so he might have gotten disconnected from the internet. This was only my second blitz game so I am not sure how it works.

I don't think I would have a chance against you a 3-minute blitz for you are just to tricky with your traps. I would have fell right in to that trap for sure just like I do in my OTB games.
Rather than just start a new thread, I'll just throw one more 3 minute game in here. I like the finish to this one.
3 Minute Game / Unrated
This one was played around 6 AM after an all nighter, so forgive the minor errors by me.

Sometimes, I pull off a good one. Other times, I'll make silly mistakes too.
Like they say, "Some days chicken ... some days feathers". 🙂
