We're back at the board again in a new blitz chess session... not so good because this time I got kicked around a lot. It's not my best version, but I've been practicing some new openings, so I'm not too hard on myself.
Besides, at this point, all the opponents we face know at least how to move their pieces well and make us sweat all the time. Opening, middlegame, and endgames, all together can lose us some games.
I'm still learning this one. Opening, so it's no surprise to me that I'm going wrong after several moves. I think I'm running out of options after locking myself back and giving away the initiative too much. Much of this is because I still don't know the opening very well, and I ended up paying dearly for it.
And that mistake happened to me in several games. Not only was I already wrong from the opening, but I practically had no chance to come back. I was in a dead position where the only one who had a chance to bother me was my opponent.
Even in the queen's pawn, which is one of the openings I've been playing recently and am trying to learn as much as possible so I can have Something else up my sleeve and surprising my opponents. I was pretty bad at it when I first started applying it. I think I need to go back to the drawing board and see what's going wrong.
I'll leave you with my humiliating defeats so you can laugh a little.
