CHESS UNPLUGGED | Sometimes, I just like unwind by not thinking too hard, play a couple of quick casual unrated games, while listen to some slow jazz! πŸ˜Œβ™ŸοΈπŸŽ΅

It was a stormy day today in Sydney. After work, I played a few casual unrated games, while having a small glass of whisky! I played a game with black and then white, and in both games, the killer blow was a Royal Fork!

In the second game, it was a very fun conversion as Black decided to play on, and I had an opportunity to sacrifice my queen for a brilliancy, and with enough tempo to promote a second queen. On review, I'd actually blundered the position due to complacency, and it was only through sheer luck that my opponent didn't see it!

Hi!  I'm vitualis, the chess noob (aka chessnoob64), and I run the "Adventures of a Chess Noob" YouTube channel and blog.  I'm learning and having fun with chess! 

I restarted playing chess recently after my interest was rekindled by the release of "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix.  I mostly play 1 or 2 games a day, and am trying to improve (slowly!).  I document some of my games and learning experiences on my blog and YouTube channel from the perspective of a beginner-intermediate player!
