Nobody cares but I thought this chess game I won was interesting.

People can see the game (aka knife fight) and the computer analysis at https://lichess.org/30o4S001/white.

At https://lichess.org/ where I play chess, the computer analysis is free as is everything else. Zero ads.

The best chess website in the universe, Lichess.org, was created by Thibault Duplessis in Paris, France.

I suck at chess. Win or lose I always make mistakes. But I like to think my rating which is usually in the 1900s is a good thing.

Every game I play is a 10-minute game. Each player gets 10 minutes to finish the game. When a chessplayer's clock runs out they lose the game. When I checkmated my opponent's king on my 64th move I had 44 seconds left and my opponent had 50 seconds left. Knowing when to spend more time thinking is part of the game. Too many times I have moved too fast or not fast enough. Some chess players prefer a slower or faster time control.

In this game, my opponent had 2 connected passed pawns and one of those pawns made it to the 7th rank in the middlegame. I survived that problem despite the odds.

The computer analysis had 4 complaints about me and 10 complaints about my opponent.

Nobody cares.
