3 minutes chesscube game

Recently I played a 3 minutes game with my chess friend. Its been a long time we don't have a match. And I was too confident to win and you see what happened if you are over ambitious against a girl.



So please, play the board, not the player!

Turning the table - 3 years ago

Game was played on 18 May 2008

We are both 3/3 and I was black. After the game I just couldn't believe what happened. We talk at the outside with my opponent and broke into laugh because we both blur.



Don't give up. Play your best :) don't give your opponent an easy win!
