The Death stroke of AL

As it may be encouraging for the lower rated players (including me), I posted some blitz games against a much stronger opponent. "Where there is a will there is a way" or as a Roman senator once said: "Carthago will be destroyed"

I first start with a loss against AL rated on WCN 2346 - 2401. He is no fide master, IM or GM. The point is he is about 800 points stronger than I am. So he should have an easy play.

Never play in fear. They just longing for the thrill to be crushed by you.
