That was cool , thanks for sharing!
Is anyone here willing to play someone who’s roughly 900-1000 rated in blitz? We can also unrated if you’re worried your rating is gonna drop (in the very unlikely event I win).
I don’t play blitz, but if I should ever see you online at the same time as I am I’ll send you a challenge…or vice versa…
What selection should I make? 3 min, 3|2, 5 min, or 5|5?
I’m fine with either 3 min and 2 sec increment or 5 min with 5 sec increment. Depends on what the opponent wants.
In another unrated game sticking with the Italian opening, I showed @J0EBL0W the Traxler. It ended in a draw but both of us got 100 accuracy, which is something I’ve never seen happen for two players.
The game for anyone interested: J0EBL0W vs. Seasplash | Analysis - Chess.com
I see the Traxler every so often since Ng5 is what I typically play vs two knights defense. I never take the bishop though because I got myself into trouble that way in the past.
Gonna start a new tournament around the end of the month. Who wants in?

I’ve got an exam and I’m swamped at work - count me out this round, but I’ll be back in next round.
I’m in. I’m always good for giving some others a few easy(ier) wins.
Exam EA-2L is coming up in a few weeks, but I think I can handle a tourney. Count me in.
I’m in. Haven’t played an actual match in awhile. Can kill time while up with new baby at 2am.
I’ll play.
