Hi all,

As the title implies, I lost, but I thought this game was just too great not to share. My opponent played as white and finished the 5/5 blitz with a little over 3 minutes on the clock. Enjoy!

Click click click crap crap crap ...... Ba4+ now it's getting interesting... Ke7 ...

oohhh that's nice 😀

But what if just 17. ... Kf8?

EDIT: 18. ... Kf8 would've been somewhat satisfactory too, but black loses some material, but is it all that bad, White's remaining pieces look rather dim

Sorry, Dreadfully inaccurate opening from which Black emerged totally winning. As Heinzkat says: 17 Ba4+ Kf8! and Black cleans up - the R is dead; and f2 falls.

After 17...Ke7?, White blunders into a nice finish. But I bet 18 Rxe6+ was played because W has few alternatives for that R. Otherwise we have to square W's incompetent opening with an intuitive attacking vision worthy of Alexhine & Tal.

Implausible.

He gave you the center pawn, but you failed to castle. In fact, your play got downright suicidal at the end.

give him a break. It was a blitz match, he got greedy and got punished. Still a nice finish by opponent worth sharing.
