Hopefully this tournament goes better than the previous one…
I’m organising a prize tournament on 8 June, 8pm Malaysian time! Sign up here: https://forms.gle/7aB7nVauSxUrVZ46A
e e e e e e e e I just realized here my my mop may not be working so okay I should probably okay I should move quickly Rook D1 of course REM moove that he plays Queen C I’ll take Bishop F6 if Queen E7 I think I have do I have Knight D5 actually maybe the easier way would be to take a knight D5 that way I don’t have to think so much because you know one has to be economical when you’re playing such events okay let’s put KN on D5 now we’re coming in coming in nice and hot not sure how Lex supposed to deal with this well this is definitely not the way because about to he not getting M it surprisingly but uh cuz queing C5 the king can run to F6 but he is going to lose the game that’s that’s for sure well given this person’s name Aisha could well be a lady so she is going to lose this game that’s almost certainly true mean stranger things have happened but I think we can quite safely chop this up as a win but we have to win quickly as well because we are taking so much time that it’s actually quite important that we win so quickly as well because if we don’t then you know it could drag out time a bit too much and that’s not not what we want to do so let’s keep the most slowing shall we uh okay let’s play E4 chase this guy away E6 know what I guess it’s time to play A3 Force this bishop to make a decision we should just move let’s just go B4 clever try but it doesn’t work hoping for a preor of course there’s no mate that’s unfortunate but obviously it’s winning we just need to do it quickly that’s the thing not been the most efficient way to play oh there he is okay there we go so the point about these Arena tournaments is it’s not just important to win but it’s important to do so quickly because yeah don’t win fast enough then you know you can quickly fall behind like that’s exactly what’s happened here okay so got a 2,000 rated I’m hoping it’s going to berser as well I’m not sure how confident I am to win without berser he doesn’t he okay don’t mind that decision Bishop C4 interesting uh F I already can’t remember what to do play d66 E5 could be unpleasant just realized uh okay what should I do what should I do I should do it fast that whatever I do I should do it fast I don’t know why I did that but I did it so yeah I did it so I’ve got to deal with it that’s so that’s what we call the consequence of making decisions in chess sometimes you make a decision and not so happy with then well you have to better oo think of decisions I’m not too happy with uh that’s actually the decision I’m pretty pretty happy with as black giving up Bishop like that that’s a good sign and we are okay he still has double my time sort of but my next few moves will hopefully be quite a bit easier which should help me I don’t know whether I can even get D5 so maybe this is not the right way to do things but okay we will see actually think we can get D5 that’s the funny thing oh interesting can we get D5 now oh he wants E5 interesting all right I’m not too worried about that go ahead play E5 interesting it just takes now I’m very happy with my position now I’m very happy no complaints whatsoever oh is that not Pawn give me that pawn gift me the porn okay okay he’s trying to create some play that’s uh that’s fair enough try to tickle him a little bit just a little bit want to tickle him too much he might not feel that comfortable so just a little bit see what he does it’s also important that I don’t enjoy myself too much because I don’t really have that much time I have some time but not that much time so yeah we’ll see see he goes through F2 interesting not Mo I expected actually I think we can go ahe play E6 quite happily Nelson is starving to by the way Nelson just came from a tournament so that’s kind of crazy that he actually leading it but all right there’s still a lot of games to go take with the queen or should I take with the bishop Bishop takes seem safer go for that okay now let’s play very safe that’s the key to these type of positions just to play safe moves okay H5 stop everything important you got to stop everything in these type positions because you allow just a little bit of stuff and it could could all start going wrong so let’s get more pieces into the game really that cannot be a bad idea more pieces it’s going to be more fun right okay it plays F5 that’s a good try it’s a very good try okay I’ll take it I don’t know whether that was a good decision maybe it wasn’t but I said you have to live with your decisions good check H2 do this actually that was probably a really bad move I just realized but okay it’s Blitz can’t always play well in Blitz right somehow I I shouldn’t have led this whole F5 idea because un necessary it’s just unnecessary yeah okay this is not great it’s not ideal for sure oh I can’t do that what should I do what should I do uh I do this I don’t know what’s the idea of that move but it looks strong okay let’s give a check okay thank you for the Rook thank you for the rock give a check another check okay when material up traits are always good and times are evening up this is a very good sign a very good sign indeed okay give me that pawn Nelson just keeps winning this is crazy K threatening mate let sort of cement this shall we maybe this might be more accurate to play R Tre see what it does actually and now I can pre rookie one he’s going to be in zuk swong actually oh I was not expecting that and mate there we go back to tournament we are number 95 after a draw and two wins this is this is great this is just great okay but at least we have got a streak going and that’s usually the start to actually getting big score is you need a streak because you don’t have a streak in these events it’s very very hard to rack up anything not to mention that there’s still a lot of time okay I think we can actually get away berserking this game so let’s go for it okay let’s see what black knows about this line interesting interesting interesting stuff I’m going for like a good knight versus bad Bishop hopefully that’s going to work out so he’s string Queen takes C3 so that’s why I need to protect that pawn oh he loves Knight D5 that’s a surprise that is a surprise let’s play Queen D2 I need to protect this Pawn before I can play Rook D1 why I brought the queen back to D2 should B6 can take on F6 and Bishop V7 but no let’s not do that shall we little get one this opposite Bishop position should be a lot of fun for us actually should be a lot of fun oh he’s uh trying to get his own fun as well with B5 okay let’s play V3 I have an idea can you please5 let’s play E3 is his idea to play B5 now he plays Bishop G4 oh he’s playing very sensible chess actually play F3 I don’t know whether this was any good for me but we’ll do it and next move I’ll play F4 and kick that Bishop away no this cannot be this cannot be good not a chance enough this is good okay so what do we do just hit that pawn on D6 we could play Rook F1 as well I like actually my knight on D5 so let’s keep it on D5 I’m not worried about B5 cuz I can take and play KN C7 so that’s not an issue for me and now I think he’s realizing oh he does take okay Knight C7 no problem no problem at all okay thank you and really thank you because uh yeah it’s a doing me a great favor if you resign because you know it helps me rack out my points so thank you very much for resigning if your position is hopeless it really helps me like the worst thing that someone could do is like have a worst position not worst position but like a lost position like Queen down or something and then you know play on for like an extra three minutes cuz you know time is of the essence in such Arena tournaments and it gets kind of crazy as we will see Nelson is berserking and crushing everyone this is just honestly ins insane okay I’ve got Adam zaffre let’s go okay where should we go let’s go for D4 okay okay let’s go for E4 the line that up teaching some of my students uh question is do I know how to play it and the answer is probably actually no because I haven’t really studied this line in any sort of detail hey so my understanding is that if black plays E5 or C5 should play like C3 but now that he’s not doing that maybe I should play C4 I don’t think I’m running into any discoveries he doesn’t have any good discoveries because Knight takes C4 take Bishop takes you I’ll play Bish E3 trying to play sort of sensible chest not spending too much time it be better to take with a bishop actually I’m not sure no so I’ll leave that decision to later Queen C2 Rook D1 I’m not sure this is the right way to put my pieces actually but I don’t know maybe it’s better to put a queen on D2 maybe that’s more harmonious but I’m going to just do it because I don’t have too much time and I can’t spend too much time either so okay play C5 this is from my understanding it’s supposed to be a good thing cuz yeah the pawn on D6 gets more weak in this case really very simple but as we all know chess is not that simple yeah going to play Rook D1 we cannot spend too much time because oh interesting want to play Bishop B7 can I play Knight B5 immediately Queen E7 though and I can’t attack this pawn more times so let’s play D1 and play Rook E1 as well then maybe we can think about I SL Bishop F4 that could be interesting Knight E5 interesting so I probably should take actually Rook takes wow ambitious I I was sure he was going to play PA takes C5 but I was wrong that I’m complaining I like this position very much very much indeed gift me that pawn maybe oh there Bishop D4 all right let’s go ahead go go ahead Play Bishop D4 wait interesting he does not play Bishop D4 which uh tempts me to just play E5 actually to really just cement on that then maybe it’s better and more sensible for me to actually just drop this guy back CU now I might have Knight B5 ideas okay I don’t mind it when you give me such an important Bishop just to take back this Pawn it’s also possible to take B take C3 but some not too worried about this okay Rook takes let’s take it I think they should be2 actually could be an interesting idea kick this Knight back cuz I that’s where I went the night to go back interesting it’s l G4 oh there’s Queen G5 okay so we should be a bit careful still and we have not much time so we should be maybe a bit more than little bit careful actually maybe G4 I don’t know why I did that yeah Queen G5 I don’t have any real way to exploit this see what do I do why did I do that let’s play F3 I’m playing very strange I know let’s uh what a CO chest the consequence of a mistake sometimes you make a mistake you realize you know you have to do something else to be consistent and then starts to snowball but okay still unpleasant for him actually so see how it goes uh let me take we have six not sure this is the right way to play probably isn’t actually okay well that changes everything now I’m definitely winning all right that was lucky okay well we’ve got some momentum going this is good and oh yeah I’m so tired that’s the other thing though I can’t believe Nelson is just winning and winning and winning it’s like he’s not tired after his tournament it’s crazy oh okay so exhausted okay let’s go where am I playing V CH I don’t think I can actually berserk this game that’s the sad part I think it’s a bit high rated for me to go for the berserk actually so okay KN F6 D4 oo this line okay let’s play B6 A5 Bishop back okay sort of a playable position this maybe it’s not the best one though not sure let’s play C5 that seems like a logical idea especially since F4 was probably not the best decision so weakening his position a lot so going to try to get C5 and you know get something in the center B3 okay I say go Queen C7 Maybe okay maybe it was better to take on D4 first I don’t know anyhow Rook F d8 I don’t know why I put that Rook on d8 maybe I should have put something else but okay we have done it so it’s too late to regret these decisions actually maybe I should have done this before the queen went to E2 because now he can take back with the queen I just realized which maybe it’s not the the most Pleasant thing for me that’s all right our position is still quite playable uh what we do put the bishop on e4 not sure what the idea of that is because I don’t want to play Bishop G2 King G Queen takes G2 that’s the move I don’t really like I didn’t realize it’s a move that he had actually so yeah okay some signs of fatigue perhaps I don’t know okay I don’t know what to do actually this is funny it’s such a funny position I don’t know what to do do this just cuz I need to make a move I’m hoping to play Queen B7 take control of this but I think he’s going to take on D4 it feels like the right decision for him interesting it drops his stuff back now I have to for uh what do I do do I play Knight if I play Knight D5 you could play some like Queen F3 renewing the trats what is his Threat by the way not sure what his threat is we just play like Knight D5 we are making a tread and I have an idea I’m not sure whether it’s a good idea but it is an idea and it’s better than what we have now which is no idea so we’ll take it I guess okay please Queen E2 no does my idea make any sense I think it does actually let’s take on E5 I kind of forgot what my idea was I think I wanted Bishop G5 but Rook F3 doesn’t look that great somehow Queen B7 Knight E4 that’s a move that I didn’t see in advance not nice that is not nice so maybe I’ll start with Queen B7 so I can actually do something about Knight E4 oh but he plays Queen F3 now okay let me play Bish G5 got have to I just take of course he plays Rook e one I’ll take on D4 that’s the idea so does it work is is the question I’m not sure we’ll see I guess Knight C4 O So B5 Knight D6 takes takes actually how is that it could be interesting actually you know what I mean nobody ever G anywhere by playing scat CH so we’re going to go for it we going to go straight for his idea is it a good idea I guess we will see we will see right now all right takes well we can play C takes right takes takes Bishop takes D4 what is that actually maybe it’s better for us to play C4 because I don’t want to open up this this bishop I want to keep this bishop passive for now I probably can’t keep it passive for too long but as long as as possible I like to keep this passive and to also make it easier for me to pick up this Pawn on D6 if it’s at all possible not saying that is but if it’s possible it will be easier to pick up this Pawn was pre moving BC but I’m not sure that’s a great idea you know as crazy as this format is being the arena I’m kind of glad it’s the arena because you know I’m really tired and we are tired and you just came from another tournament I just play cyber J today and uh didn’t go the way I expected that okay I did get a prize and if you get a price you can’t really complain too much so yeah he’s really taking his time game that’s good the more time it takes the happier I am Rook C2 wow just uh he’s allowing C3 no B should take C3 V4 what is that is that a trap or just of blunder oh Rook take C3 what a nasty guy what a tricky tricky guy this guy is actually a trickster okay so we need to be a bit careful now that we know what he’s up to okay we’re going to move the queen out of this you know whatever this is and we’re going to try to take this pwn feels to me like this simplest way to press for the win I’m not sure what he’s going to do about that that but I am aware that this guy is feeling in a tricky mood so yeah got to be a bit careful still I’ve fallen to 10th place oh I’m not even in 10th Place 11th Place due to this extremely long win which is probably not necessary take that long uh Queen takes D6 Bishop A5 I do want to be careful though play A4 what happens oh the time time is running time is running I better go I better go I just take here I’ll take here Rook takes I’ll play Queen takes D6 no back CR no back ranking should be an easy win in this end game I’m just bringing my king not me back to tournament let’s go bit of a lag this is not great I mean I was talking to Y long he said that’s one reason doesn’t stream much because of the lag but but it is something that you will have to do with if your computer is not as powerful which I’m thinking it’s quite funny because he’s a really strong player I would think he’d have like computer with like all the you know the best backs and everything but apparently not okay let’s go let’s go let’s go him lim okay let’s bzerk and let’s play okay let’s play D4 again no it’s going to play that otherwise going to play it slightly differently Bishop D7 is probably not a great move E3 okay let’s take here gift me the pawn I can take and play I don’t know why I would do that let’s play KN C3 back let’s play it save okay now it’s a piece that’s why I just thought that he might not see D5 that’s why he’s trying to flag me so badly Queen takes uh what should I do should I go B B5 I can do that let’s go actually why are we even doing this T so let’s play H3 kick this guy first then we’ll decide what to do okay now I think B5 is a good idea yeah let’s take everything on C6 like D4 I’m not sure where to Castle yet so I’ll defer that decision slightly Bishop D6 let’s drop out pieces back no I think I might oh I take the queen and a Castle actually I think the issue is that he’s trying to flag me but the problem is that when I’m when I’m up Queen it’s it’s going to be very hard to flag me that’s the problem cuz I can make a lot of very easy pre moves and you can’t do the same it’s perfect one looks like that that can be pre moved actually nice thing about these things know whether this is a good way to win okay let’s take it check okay let M all right back to tournament okay after a fast win we’ve caught up a little bit is hoping for more easy pairings oh there no easy pairings here all right onest in the spirit of this game Let’s berserk and let’s go for it believe this is the way I supposed to play this I don’t know whether you’re supposed to play Bishop B5 but it’s a very typical idea maybe I should have start with Knight F3 cuz he can play Knight D7 I think that’s castle castle okay two develop can be a bad idea have I done this wrongly actually I don’t know I can still play Rook D1 right KN uh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait a second actually what I should do I do oh [ __ ] why am I doing I’m playing so badly I’m playing terribly I’m actually playing terribly well let’s pretend that this was a sacrifice and play E5 that’s the best you can do in this circumstances the typical idea in the tarash the sa Pawn like that it’s probably not a great version of this sack but who cares it’s Blitz right probably doesn’t realize that so yeah let’s pretend that nothing happened then cely normal moves Bishop C5 uh okay play I don’t know what to play any1 maybe don’t know whether that’s a good idea therefore C8 interesting think I’m going to play Knight F5 what how is this supposed to work ah he wants to play Rook C8 so maybe I should play Rook F2 instead I can protect this I have this Knight takes B6 Bishop takes D3 Rook C8 Rook C2 I have just Queen C2 I think yeah I think I have this yeah this queen C2 yeah a queen C8 there we go all right back to tournament oh we are way behind Nelson but so far halfway to the arena I can’t really complain with I can’t really complain about my result really so we’ll see we’ll see but okay lots of people right behind and obviously we still have half wi Arena to go I reckon think of that we have another guy coming up it’s going to be hard to catch Nelson going to have to berserk some gam thing okay playing SC let’s see if he berserks if he berserks I’ll berserk if it doesn’t berserk I berserk okay let’s go oh this line S Knight B3 I think the line was supposed to be Bishop E6 here PU should E7 C3 yeah have I done this correctly okay he’s not threatening to take D5 yet so I can Castle I think here that’s when I play Knight D7 yeah I think this is supposed to be the right way to do this sort of studed this line a little bit a few years back not that I can remember much but this is what I remember Queen C7 Rook on d8 seems like a plan interesting but A6 don’t want some random knight B5 moves to happen so it’s probably not a great move though I have to say can we go Bishop B4 and try to ruin his structure could be an interesting idea right because I’d like to fix some concrete weaknesses here on the queen side because that will make it easier for me to play maybe it doesn’t really change the evaluation that much objectively I’m feeling one advantage or another but in Blitz it helps to have some sort of oh okay if we force that then that’s it if D4 takes takes Knight E4 I guess Knight E4 Queen E4 we don’t really have a way to exploit this let’s play Rook C8 actually A3 and then of course we don’t take it yeah we just drop back drop back to f8 now D4 is coming up so he’s got to do something about that I could probably also takeen D4 but I didn’t want to give up my Bishop just felt a bit unnecessary might call me maybe I’m a bit greedy maybe it’s uh it was better just a take but I didn’t want to help him develop that’s the thing okay has to play some passive move like that that’s probably a good sign I’m play D4 and I’m going to hope that W D3 is working that’s the hope I’m not sure it is though okay firstly we have to deal with this slight pickle that is this KN on F6 so let’s take I guess just to play Queen takes that’s no that’s fast don’t know what he’s thinking about he cannot play Bishop takes or can he no he can’t surely he can’t D3 I’m thinking this yeah I mean I let’s say I play D3 yeah play D3 ni C3 so calm so calm it’s a bit unnerving I need to move I need to move I need to I need to just move I don’t care if I lose that pawn I just have to go maybe I do care if I lose that pawn it’s not not a wise choice of words I do care actually if I lose that pawn would be quite bad if I lose that pawn so let’s try not to lose it same time let’s try to play s chest we have a small threat it could be you know could be an idea in the near future if he’s not careful that one I’m pinning stuff for now I can still take right I just realized it can actually still take that guy okay focus let’s focus need to bring this one home nice and easy off for the queen trade that push M see2 push what am I doing not sure what I’m doing actually okay here we go now it’s win now it’s done definitely win there we go nice okay second place okay but still half an arena to go everything to play for steel and actually a lot of guys two guys scary scary house lost his streak but Echo still has his streak and yeah it’ll be interesting to see who I play next hopefully it’s not too stronger player we like to get some of those wins in Nelson has lost by the way I don’t know who he’s lost to but that’s a that’s a good sign I mean no I’m not happy to see Nel lose games he’s a friend of my good friend but it’s good for my tournament chances and he’s still leading so you know no reason to be to let’s see okay go she’s not berserking so I shouldn’t berserk I think okay Knight C3 I think is the move here don’t really play this line so yeah I know Anderson has some games with both colors yeah Anderson is the expert in this line Anderson AR so if you want to learn about this line then check out Anderson’s games that is a one tip that will be helpful for sure King B3 I think is the way they do this here King B6 and now I think I’m supposed to take first and then C5 that is my understanding C5 that is the way they play this game these positions Knight A6 okay so I could play E3 I could play E4 as well well the E4 Knight B4 Rook A4 with Knight C2 I think the Knight gets trapped so you have to play A5 so in that position I can either have the pawn on E3 or on e4 I feel like I’d rather have the pawn on e4 so that’s what I’m going to do I’m just push to E4 Knight B4 play Rook A4 Knight B4 is pretty much forced okay I stand corrected I didn’t realize he could do that actually maybe this is a small difference or a big difference I’m not sure yet B4 A6 I can still play B5 so maybe it’s time for me to play B4 want to push just want to push that part oh no I’m still sleeping I can’t I can’t push it just yet if it plays A6 it plays Knight D7 which I think allows me to just push the pawn through I can also start with Bishop F4 maybe that would be a more accurate way of doing things we might have to worry about E5 ideas so actually B5 could run into E5 right B takes B takes not sure let’s just play B5 I don’t want to think too much last thing I need to do is think too much and then you know actually get into some trouble on the clock so we’re going to just do it yeah maybe it was more accurate to have the bishop on F4 but I didn’t want to allow any sort of E5 ideas so this is the decision that we’ve gone for and it’s one that I’m satisfied with let’s leave it at that okay next goal should probably be some sort of development base goes face A6 interesting because he’s not threatening anything so I’m going to take on D5 it doesn’t threaten anything I’m not going to react to it I think a fair thing to do right so how should I develop I think I need my I need my Bishop somewhere I don’t know where I need my king somewhere which I also don’t no where this is interesting it’s very interesting I could play Bishop D2 King F2 that seems like a very very safe way to play and it doesn’t spend too much time I could also go for Bishop F4 now I’m bit worried about F6 G5 I guess I’m going to play King F2 first I feel like I’ll need this maybe I’ll put the bishop on E3 maybe I’ll play rookie one check first who knows really who knows castles okay time to drop it back we have C6 ideas by the way so he should watch out just a little bit uh C6 takes Bishop F Bishop A6 King C7 Bishop F4 Bishop D6 if I play Bishop F4 maybe he plays G5 right away so I’m not sure maybe I go Bishop D2 first okay let’s defend this guy might be it o I didn’t realize what his idea was but now I see it okay that’s not nice of him not very nice of him it’s also not very accurate of me to allow this of course what can you do at least next move I’m going Bishop A4 this Knight’s not going to stay on C6 forever it cannot be allowed to quite simply maybe it was better to play Bishop B3 first just to you know force him to play some little rook d8 and then you know think about these ideas uh I don’t know what should I do should I play H4 could be interesting let’s play H4 I don’t think this is very promising though face G5 wow okay Pi hey interesting stuff sure what to do actually I do this actually I have an idea hopefully this works I shouldn’t spend too much time on this obviously okay he just ignores it attacks that pawn interesting pick this guy oh it takes H1 oh this is a proper standoff then I need to take C6 otherwise I might hang that pawn some like and maybe I can start to push these pawns I shouldn’t have allowed this Knight to C6 this was so sloppy feel like now it’s got to be a draw let’s play okay one okay don’t know whether this is a good idea I need to try to create some chances somehow now given that I’m spending so much time this it’s probably not the wisest idea but we’ll see we’ll see he’s also spending time this is good more time he spends the happier I become let mean say I’m down the clock so should be a bit faster Maybe why did I do that I can play Bishop h8 right yeah but then I go Rook H1 so actually I’m giving him some choices now some difficult choices going to find the right way to deal with that I’m not sure I guess he did he did find a really good way to deal with that okay yeah there’s that’s a good enough pressure why am I doing this I don’t know what am I doing what am I doing this is terrible actually terrible and I put my Rook on the wrong Square as well you know why I put my Rook on E2 and actually just defend it yeah I’m hoping I’m in time to bring my king I’m pressing him a little bit am I wait have I blunder please don’t tell me I blunder apparently I haven’t I do this think I can okay I think I’m winning now very funny actually very funny but the SE Pawn is going to decide the game okay that was an epic game back to tournament all right we are behind echos getting some sort of a comeback with two very easy wins so yeah not at all an easy match and you know nothing’s actually coming back up again so yeah okay we’ve got half an hour left in the arena so far the results have been good but yeah haven’t been getting in as many games as I hope to let’s see okay this is a prime time to berserk for sure now it’s now it’s getting interesting interesting he was going to play Bishop V5 for sure cuz that’s what all the guys do nowadays right you just play Bishop V5 you know y y y interesting this line my understanding is that this nine is not supposed to be a very great version because Bishop of C4 is usually quite misplaced in a lot of this time R of positions what is this what is this this looks like a piece yes it’s a piece confirmed definitely peace e thank you for the queen thank you for the extra Bishop thank you for your king and check me all right next few games will be critical St we have now voted into the lead with half an hour to play so still everything to play for and yeah you never know these guys could start getting a win streak very soon so you know it’s not oh and Nelson Has again for it back into the lead Nelson is very good in these arena games can win games so quickly and he berserks in every single one of them which is kind of amazing really okay this is going to be an interesting game this is going to be an interesting game this is going to be for all the Marvels the winner of this will have let’s play a interesting line actually uh can’t remember what what the line is supposed to be like this this is the all way to play this the traditional way Bishop G5 uh oh c takes D4 as move and then H6 yeah that’s supposed to be the the not a big fan of these type positions to be honest but it is what you sort of sign up for when you play these lines and see one of my friends Manny senador is you know he’s a very big expert of these sort of lines with black so hey he’s uh Tau me a little bit which uh I’ve already forgotten that’s quite clear somehow I’m not doing so well some my stuff is starting to hang this is not good maybe was not the right way to do this D5 is starting to HCK there remember the way money used to do deal with this is to play Bishop G4 but that doesn’t quite work here so maybe what I need to do is play Knight A5 instead and try to put the Knight on C4 something along those lines okay so I know what to do actually should I put the Knight on C4 now but then he can play Knight takes D5 let’s issue Knight takes E3 though ibe I can do it Knight C4 Knight D5 Knight E3 okay it just drops back so calm so calm and collected bit unnerving he I probably need to move this Knight because otherwise Knight D5 comes let’s put it on E5 it’s been a bit of a dance between our pieces who has really benefited from from this I’m not sure actually I’m really not sure it will be either one of us I don’t know why put it that I want to put a vision on G6 that’s why let’s put a vision on G6 I don’t know whether now is a good time to allow them with Queen B3 it could be a really bad time actually maybe it’s a really bad time my timing this game hasn’t been the best I I’ll admit that not great this probably a very bad idea actually 93 take this guy this is probably a very bad idea at the same time I have my trumps he didn’t berserk against me which is interesting yeah maybe that shows some respect or I don’t know what I don’t think he needed to show respect I mean I’m very bad at Blitz but maybe I’ll take on E3 first actually before I take that on V6 perhaps that’s more accurate he King H2 Rook takes C3 is not out of the question by the way but let’s do the traditional thing take we should take C3 might be 5 drop it back what am I doing I’m sleeping I’m actually sleeping this game now now I’m going to lose for sure you don’t really come back against Nelson from such positions but okay actually know today he’s he’s been playing quite badly in in other tournaments I have some small hopes small hopes not not big ones small any know how though I can even start to create chances I can’t even see a way to create chances that’s the worst part it’s so dead after that blunder of course I had to move my rook and then I think I’m slightly better that was not good maybe I think it could make sense to actually just resign here do I think I can actually save this game that’s the question cuz if I don’t think I can maybe the best thing I can do is just like resign here yeah I’m playing for like what two points I think I can save this game is it better to just like resign and play more games I don’t know for sure I’m not ready to give up just yet not yet I can still you know tickle him a little bit so that’s why I’m not pulling the pl just yet but it’s looking very bad it’s looking increasingly bad Rook F three coming up think it’s almost like to the point where I can just resign this actually okay this is very bad this is actually very bad okay I’m going to Design This and like rematch another tournament hopefully I can I mean I’m not going to win this but hopefully I can get things going so finish second because this is not it’s not easy really not easy I’m hoping for some easy pairings because that’s going to help right now you know nothing’s actually quite close to the streak so we have to be very careful about him Echo has just lost so that’s good uh I’m going to have to book there’s no question about this the book is for this is taking so long to pet it’s not nice a it yeah okay so I’m playing while out a okay that’s good it’s time to berserk okay berser as well that helps thank you for being so sporting I should really like not free with night after because I get this option of CX D5 so much thank you is not castling don’t know why thank you maybe it was better to thank you that helped a lot whoever that was you are a life sa that’s just what I need all right they’re going to berser this game oh good think players are starting to realize that it might be actually important to berser some games so I don’t know what was this so we’ve got like a very typical let’s make sure this is correct okay maybe DX would be better actually actually DX is a better move talking about CX ooh like that that’s actually clever it’s actually quite clever go Bishop E7 so still a pawn up and we like to nurse that pawn to a win that would be the best case scenario okay just going to play very very very normal very stous have no business playing anything else at this point why he did that honestly let’s go Knight C2 after that game against Nelson uh this idea is uh firmly ingrained in my mind Knight E4 I think I just go King G7 that seems like the easiest F5 so I don’t allow Knight E4 now I’m starting to attack his pawns hit the Knight I’m not sure where it’s going to go could play Knight B1 hoping for a pre move but that would probably not be a great idea this is losing a piece now that’s good back to tournament okay that’s great okay we are catching up with Nelson now we’ve regained our streak and with 18 minutes to go we have a realistic shot that I actually catching him which is nice and another good news for us is That Yo and eor have both lost now we do have to worry about these guys with 36 because they could rack up a quick a quick score and you never know they could overtake us it very very quickly don’t tell me V Nelson again seriously this is getting ridiculous okay let’s play E4 F3 D3 one on told me about this line Wong is great in with this blitz opening so you know when he sees the line is good then you should trust him so good general rule one in Long recommendation can’t be too bad I don’t know whether Knight D2 has best I think Bishop E2 was the better move but hey place knight7 it’s probably going to transpose in any case so yeah I can’t play Knight takes C5 you take E2 yeah so wait can I play C takes and play Knight takes C5 there let’s do it I hope I’ve not fallen for a trap as far as I can see this is a pwn hey that’s Castle maybe I shouldn’t have a lot Queen H4 but I think I have Bishop H3 still it’s a bit dodgy there’s KN no there’s no Knight G4 I’m controlling that square and next move I’m playing D4 so hopefully and I can take Knight F3 as well kick this guy away maybe Knight F3 is a better move than D4 yeah it’s definitely a better move than D4 going to start kicking his stuff away H okay now it’s just a pawn just a pawn but it’s not over yet still lots of stuff to play for uh uh what to do two maybe F you one F you want H5 Knight G4 idea is coming okay we need to pay attention now what do we do how do we deal with this Knight Knight G4 ideas do we place some like queen5 doesn’t make sense what am I supposed to do about night G4 actually there’s no reason to panic Knight G4 I have Bishop F4 so it’s not a move that is that killing or anything okay let’s play C3 Knight G4 on Bishop F4 Bishop C5 I have D4 that’s one reason I played uh C3 because I to push the oppon default okay this is good now we are actually up material up serious material actually can also consider dropping out Queen back to G3 is that a better idea I’m not sure maybe it is or maybe not I don’t know well in any case it’s probably not this I’m bit worried about okay I don’t think I should be worried about that play D4 if G6 I can play G3 and bring a bishop back this should be winning not easily winning but it should be winning time to play G3 and put a bishop back maybe it is go A3 ooh okay let’s drop the bishop back does B4 make any sense that’s one question asking myself it it looks like it’s weakening the pawn C3 but at the same time I’m fixing a lot of Pawns on the light squares so it’s not like a move that I should reject just our principle that being said it looks very strange I don’t think we should be doing that you know what let’s do it if we get it wrong we’ll learn from our mistakes next time we just shouldn’t spend too much time because we don’t actually have that much time we only have two minutes maybe I should take with a c with the c I don’t know I don’t know if what I did make made any sense could well have not made any sense Tre K8 know why I’m doing this seems to have gone a little bit wrong but at least now I’m hitting the pawn on B5 there one idea of mine interesting luon is actually on a streak so yeah he could actually catch up to us if we take too much time so that’s our biggest threat also KDK I have no idea who KDK is but could definitely catch up and potato as well these three are looking like the biggest strats to go just 12 minutes yeah I don’t know it’s uh it’s going to be tough okay he’s got a tough opponent as well so that’s uh oh they’re playing each other so the winner of this game is probably going to you know get an extra five points okay KDK where’s KDK playing Miracle okay this game is going to take some time cuz there’s no berserk anywhere be seen say F3 k223 the king8 rookie three important to stay patient in these type of scenarios yeah rookie five I feel like the the plan should be to bring the king at some point this is not making any progress is it bring the king now bring the king but it did allow him to play Knight D6 so maybe this wasn’t the best okay I’ll get Rook E5 though hopefully I’m not run into one of his traps Nelson is very tricky player is there Rook A2 that I have to worry about Rook C2 they can take and play KN E3 maybe I do have to worry about that Hing I can run it’s a bit crazy but I’m feeling I’m in a crazy mo today so let’s let’s go for it go for it and Hope just hope that I’m go hope and pray actually that I don’t get M it cuz it looks very scary that being said I’m threatening to take this p and it doesn’t really have a good defense defense against that so it better come up with something right now take this I think I can do this right this thing I thought he was going to take and play Rook C2 this this must be lost surely no way on know if he’s going to save this I mean I probably shouldn’t speak too soon I’ve done really stupid things in my chess career but I think this one should be should be winable oh I’m in time some time trouble I just realized that don’t don’t get fued don’t get fued bring the king nice and easy nice and easy don’t know why I did this this is crazy what is going on what okay they won that and so we have only we haven’t even caught him yet and now actually potato moves really close behind so you have to be careful and potato’s berserked as well so if he wins this he will be within two points of us so it’s going to be very close given there’s only 10 minutes left hope we don’t get Nelson again good all right let’s let’s berser this seriously what is that be worry about Knight G5 maybe I shouldn’t be but I am a bit chicken so that’s why I’ve done this that being said I’m sure that my position is going to become very good soon so thank you for the pawn much appreciated it Bishop A3 uh go for the trait more traits are good right he insist trade on his terms interesting C6 time to bring the bishop out my plan is very simple bring the bishop out push Pawn we in okay so first stage is to of course Play Bishop G4 Cate interesting Bishop C8 Queen G6 why not want to push this Pawn what okay he creating so many weaknesses in front of his King I’m not complaining of course more weaknesses he creates the harder it will be for him to defend them so far still defending them which is kind of amazing but hopefully that w’t be the case for long oh think I have this move why did I do that I don’t know there was literally no reason to play that move but yeah it’s a bit dumb really hey I think I’m getting that four Pawn now that should be a good thing of course I don’t trade Queens could take the Rope but why not Checkmate that seems better back to tournament okay it’s going to be hard for potato to catch me Nelson can definitely catch me with a win that’s for sure potato it’s going to be hard he’s going to have to win oh but he he has a berserk game so he could it’s against Echo though so it’s going to be a tough game you know nothing oh I just realiz he’s got to win two to catch me to to surpass me at this point if I berser can win then I I have to bazook the next game there’s no question the only thing we can do is bazook and hope for the best and hope that Nelson oh interesting I mean let’s berserk it right why not for fun n’s not going to berserk I mean this is dirty this is dirty actually he just doesn’t want to berser this is funny oh we have discussed this line previously I actually had the exact same position against retes today so hopefully yeah okay retach Play Bishop E7 I got a nice position I won the game so he’s Tred something different obviously don’t touch that Knight because of B V5 check that’s why e Castle okay let’s put the KN back on E2 obviously I don’t really care about my rating if I lose rating then so be it but I want to get as many games as I can before you know time runs out that’s why by the way I just realized if I’m going to lose this game I have reached the point that I can just throw it out anyway so that’s a good thing no I know that I’m planning to lose or anything but just saying we are reaching that point I have an idea put a queen on F2 yep uh I don’t know why I did that okay Bishop back I know way on C4 Maybe B if I’m going to lose I’m going to let my time run out it’s a bit dirty but basically what that ensures is that he cannot win this tournament that’s the whole point because I’m not going to resign I just let my time run up but hopefully we would reach that stage hopefully we can get a nice clean game in and maybe get some points I actually offer him a draw but I don’t think he’ll be too interested in that B5 yeah if anything V position is quite comfortable I would say he’s maybe even slightly better but it’s nothing too serious put the queen on D1 I’ll him a draw I mean we have like one minute left so I think it’s a reasonable offer he turns down it’s also fair enough uh I do3 uh H6 KN on F5 thanks for the bishop uh his only chance is to go for the flag obviously because I’m way low on time oh mate trat be careful here let’s be careful oh there already now has ended in interesting so what’s the final standing so I don’t know guess we’ll see after the end hopefully we’ve won this event that’ be nice tournament wasn’t that great the event has ended so I’m not going to give him a draw going to try to win this obviously the event has already ended so there’s no reason to be nice he he declined my draw offer so this is payback yeah no don’t take it because Queen E3 okay so Rook e two Rook e two is the way that’s the way that’s the way my friend Okay so back to the events and it appears I have one that’s nice that’s nice okay so I guess Redemption for the previous tournament the last time I played this event I think I got like six plays or something so it’s nice to actually win something and yeah I guess it’s paid for my Buy in from for for the blitz tournament so yeah I mean I would I would accept challenges normally but I’m just so exhausted today so unfortunately I can’t take any more challenges I’m really sorry to disappoint any of you guys but I just I just need some rest I just had a seven I just finished the seven round tournament set through approximately 2 and a half hours of speeches and yeah rushed back and immediately decided to play this tournament so given that I think I’m sort of happy with my performance yeah I mean I did lose one game to Nelson which I probably shouldn’t have but I think also beat him twice I think in other two games so that’s good and Nelson still second place pretty good job yeah well no I think yeah I beat him twice zero here and zero at the end which isn’t counted and yeah the rest of you guys you really chased me very much and I think there was this Chinese guy KD K who was really yeah really on my teal and was just trying to berser and win as much as possible so that yeah I’ll would be able to yeah to win the tournament yeah feels good feels good feels good to win yeah 50 bucks in the back and yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this stream I’m going to end it here and I guess I’ll see you again soon by the way I’m organizing a tournament on the 8th of June give me a moment I’m going to bring it right up uh where it is actually uh don’t quite know where that is but uh yeah don’t have it with me right here
