These days I use to participate in lichess tournaments, mainly Bullet 1+0 and Rapid 10+0. In the best case, I take a place in the middle of the score list. But, miracles happens. Sometimes. I won the minor paceros league.
I played 6 games, won 5, and won 14 points. And here's the first game I played. My opponent will be anonymous.
Gunderam gambit and dumb mistakes
1.♙e4 ♟e5, 2.♘f3 ♟c6, 3.♙d4 ♞f6, 4.♙dxe5 ♞xe4...
This position is a turning point in the game. Usually, my opponent drives the knight to the fork attack position. So, the best move, in this case, is moving the queen before the king, to protect the fields from potential fork attack. After that, I usually make some dumb move that leads me to disaster. But, My opponent made such a dumb move that even I wouldn't have made.
...5.♗e2 ♛b6...
I expected my opponent to castle the king to prevent checkmate at f2. Or, to move bishop c1 to e3 and goes to counterattack. But...
...6.♙b3 ♛xf2#.
Looks like my opponent was in hurry to finish the game or made some kind of joke. I don't believe that someone with a higher rank than me could make these mistakes.
Свака част @vasigo, знам тај осећај. Само што је мени требало 313 турнира до прве победе 😁
Оставићу ја линк на твој победнички турнир пошто ти то ниси учинио:

И узгред, ово ти је била много лепа победа у вратоломној партији где си користио мотив Данског гамбита само с црним фигурама. Прави камиказа! 👏👏👏

Hvala, hvala... Mislim da ću već na sledećem turniru biti prvi otpozadi 😃
@vasigo, I want to congratulation you on your win of the “The Minor-Paceros League”. I think it important and I am glad you decided to share it with us.
I am not surprise that you rating for the tournament is 1559. As I have mention a few times that the Hive tournament players appear to be much stronger then the general lichess community.
I hope you continue to play In the Hive chess tournaments and I will continue to play also in spite of not winning very much:).
I win quite a bit in the general lichess community, I hope you don’t mind me sharing my win here:).
Nice!! Congrats as well!
Thanks @redrook. This was the first time I won some tournament, so I had to brag :D
I will continue playing Hive Chess tournaments trying to keep up the "I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing" tradition.
Congrats on your win. Keep playing.
Congratulations!
Nice mate. I guess that player had a lesson learned on taking care on his f2 🙂
Just like I have learned the lesson in harder way 😄
