Not a great win because my opponent made an oversight in 31. Ra8-b8 and lost a Rook.
But he is otherwise pretty strong.
I would point out my good move 14. f2-f4 with a trap. Not a big deal, but nevertheless.
I also should have saved Pawn ob f4 and play sometning else than 28. Rb1
All in all, decent positional fight for a 5 minutes-blitz.
Black was better till he made that mistake.

There are more (and crazier) games from blitz/department, but this was the latest (and silly enough).
-edit--- it was 5+0 blitz-
After 13. Qxe7
I felt like the dummest idiot.
I was thinking of a nwe thread "Your most stupid defeats"
but ... I got awaya with
19. ...Nd6
And I prepared a lines for this thread ni style
"Never never give up... your opponent can die of a heart attack or get killed by his mother or his engine can break up in the middle of the game ..."
and, what happened?
I made a oversight with 21 ... Rd8 and everything went its own natural way, another patzerish defeat.
But, once again - never give up, never show fear! 🙂
😉
It's a pity I didn't record the crayiest game form yesterdaz, but I lost it, so nod big deal 😉
Anyways, I would like to mention 1 good move (spoiled by blunder).
Here, in the game, Basmania (white) vs vandervelde, please note very good move
11 ... Qd7
I lost on the later course of the game due one of my countless blunders
But Basmania was fair enough to offer a rematch with reversed colour and I got retaliation against him, but after series of mutual blunders
vandervelde vs Basmania:
Here Black could have played 26. ... e4
But he made another blunder later so I won.
Usually there is a proportion:
1 good move on 3 blunders
and
1 excellent move on 4 disastrous moves 😉
