Game 2 of the U2050 Amateurs in Liverpool.
After a tough loss yesterday, I prepared thoroughly against the Budapest and King's Indian, seeing that my opponent had played both in the past.
I was happy to see her go for the Budapest, I'd prepped this exact line until Move 16.

Incredible turnout for the National March for Palestinein London today.
There were also speeches from the amazing Apsana Begum, Hamza Yousif and Zarah Sultana, amongst others.
Think Zack Polanski may have spoke, but I missed him.

After 5000 Rapid Games, I have finally executed this Smothered Mate. I have been in a position to pull it off a couple of times, but my opponents have just resigned.
(We won't talk about how I was in a completely losing position had he just xe4...)

Happy weekend all!
Pretty nice game to start my Saturday off. Back at 1885 now after dropping from 1970 to 1780 ELO last week.

Draw vs 1845.
What an intense classical game. I hate playing against the English, but after the opening I was OK. I made some inaccuracies that created weaknesses and ended up with a bishop v 2 disconnected pawns. Happy to have found the best defence with only 30s left.
New rating: 1798

The Alien Gambit is a bad opening if you know the best ideas to counter it.
c5 is something you should instinctively play as early as possible. You want to put pressure on the centre and look for ways to force a queen trade. Once that happens, white is just objectively worse.
