The very interesting but dubious gambit.

The very interesting but dubious gambit.

Not a very common opening at all but I've been very very successful with it. To the point where I'm thinking about making training videos about it and naming that opening system after me

Jk, but I've beaten 2100 rated players with it, in bullet and 5min Blitz.

Another 1min Bullet Beauty

This time I had black. He resigned after move 13.

For a beginner, a good game of chess. It has long been doing things you love? as an amateur or just for fun party Kata?

I love chess as much as I love poker. I've been playing serious chess since I was 14, but have stopped playing seriously since I discovered poker (about 2 years ago). I still play every day for fun though. I used to be 2107 in Blitz at Chess.com

Keep it up Alfie, don't give up! The first game is always the hardest to win in chess. I remember when I started... Struggled a lot but when I got my first victory I was full of joy

Correspondence games are a great way to get started in chess. That's how I started as well btw. Gives you ample time to think every move through without any pressure at all.

I thought about making videos about my bread and butter opening (which no one has ever covered or even uses it now a days) but not about beginners stuff. There's a lot of great free channels on youtube for beginners, intermediate and even expert levels.

These are some channels I greatly recommend: for beginners TheChessWebsite , Intermediate ChessNetwork AKA Jerry, and for experts KingsCrusher. I follow them all on youtube

Saved by the Buzzer!

1Min Bullet Chess. Played this one as black. Ended up checkmating him as my time was running out 0.1 seconds while he had 12 seconds! Tried to build a fortress early on after I lost an important center pawn. Turned out that the defender became the aggressor and managed to win the game at the last second! (literally).

Don't see any for IOS, maybe for Android but doubt it.

Just signed up and added you! btw, why is chess.com slow to you? they have both live and correspondence. they also have live tournaments. Some clubs give away money lol

What I meant is that my connection always lags in that site for some reason. It's been like that forever and I have had different Internet Providers and it's still slow.

yes, indeed. I use it myself all the time with great success. Tons of preparation required to refute all the tricks and lines I got up my sleeve.
