Blitz

Two wins against higher rated opponents and suddenly it doesn't look so bad.

Yeah, I won 5 in a row against higher rated opponents and my rating went up very quickly.

I then dropped a whole piece and had to fight for a draw against someone lower rated.😠

A hilarious 73 move win against an 1100 rated player.

A sad appx. 10 move loss to a 2300 rated player. 🙁

I hope it wasn't in a line you use often.

What time controls do you use?

I use 10 minutes.

LMAO, no...

I was wrong - he's 2400, and it's 11 moves! 😛

3 min.

b5??!😲

You were asking for it.😀

The weird thing is I rarely use 5 minutes but I don't feel comfortable playing 5 min blitz.

😵

I played this one guy.

Huge tactical blunders on both sides.

3-1 to me.

The game I lost I won a rook in the opening!

A very amusing 3/0 game just finished. It has everything; greed, sacrifice, despair (mine, then his) .. and of course .. pawn promotion to a knight 😀

I play black, at move 32 I am a full 14 points behind!
