So a weird line presents itself and I decide... why not?😱So I sack my queen and decide... it’s 1 minute chess lets have some fun!🙄 I was doing ok until I saw my clock was getting low... 😖😖😖so much for being creative, I was using too much time being creative and had only a few seconds left... so, I did what anyone would do... I tried to throw out a lot of checks FAST!😮Well, something worked because I pulled out a win on the clock at .01 seconds! 🤗🤗🤗 So, what did we learn... Meaning can have a crazy streak and instead of using self restraint and reason... I can just fly off the rails and let my crazy run unrestrained through the asylum and shamelessly post this crap on Instagram! 👏👏👏👏👏 Yay!👻👻👻👻👻 Okay, maybe I should just stop now... Take my meds... Oh, I have no meds? 🤪🤪🤪🤪 My bad. #lightningchess #chess #chessnotcheckers #chessboard #chessplayer #chesslover #chessmoves #chessclub #chessislife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-AXx_j7ox/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19orm7ct9kat5

(1 minute chess) when you have a trick but your thinking no... he just does this. But then your thinking... yeah, but he may not be ready for it... and so you wait a move of two and decide... let’s be foolish and try it... and it works! Lucky me🍺 #chess #lightningchess #speedchess #chess #chessnotcheckers #chessboard #chessplayer #chessmoves #chesslover #chessforlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BoujgkUjTYF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14uob53zm6h91

( 1minute chess ) There’s no pretty mate in this game. Actually my last move gives away my queen... but it’s lightning chess and he had 1 second left so usually I’ll give away a piece or sac a piece with check to burn his last second to secure a win on time. But I wanted to show this game because I was proud of some of my creative ideas in this game. Specifically the play of the minor pieces and overall less orthodox and more enterprising play. This game reminded me that the real joy in chess is creating creative ideas... not just the thrill of competition and swift kills. I seem to never remember this enough... so I need to fix this... it’s too important to leave forgotten. Hope it helps you remember too... #chess #chessgames #lightningchess #speedchess #creativechess #chessmakesmehappy #chessclub #chessnotcheckers https://www.instagram.com/p/Bomcb62Did5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=etbntrpbrf3q

( 1 minute chess ) Some players really believe In fortresses and unorthodox play to confuse their opponent. Lucky for me, I don’t. But, so what? My opponent is going to check me at the door... So it’s put up or shut up... Should I doubt myself ? Maybe tomorrow... Let’s play! #chess #lightningchess #speedchess #chessforfun #chessgames #letsplay #letsplayagame #nowornever https://www.instagram.com/p/BolGocoBdF4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13prl1ebc1nto

( 1 minute chess ) When everything goes wrong! I mean a total 😱 And you’ll see what I mean... I had two seconds left on my clock and my opponent had four seconds when I ended it... with mate... Wow! I still can’t believe I pulled it out! Never resign...😅 #lightningchess #speedchess #chessgames #wheneverythinggoeswrong #ohno #helpwanted #savingthegame https://www.instagram.com/p/Boh4CbKBXwD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tyb3tjvh67yt

1 minute chess... Queen traps in the French tend to work in other contexts even as black. But here my opponent was in the fight on time. So what if I trap his queen... can I mate him in the time left on the clock... It’s a reasonable question... #chess #checkmate #lightningchess #speedchess #againsttheclock https://www.instagram.com/p/BoX_nsSjMvM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=195lnt9wwzb85
