Chess: Sicilian Defense: Morphy Gambit

I played white side, against Sicilian Defense with a "Morphy gambit". The "gambit" is on my side. So, instead of right away capturing the d4 pawn, the g1 knight moved to f3, that's the "Morphy gambit" line. They call it knight, but it is abbreviated as "n" (English). Because "k" is already used for king. Back then it was "kt" — it was two letters, therefore, "n". You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Chess: Sicilian Defense: French Variation

I played black. This was a 3 minutes game. Very sharp attack by the white. But at move 44 and forward, because my remaining time was only half of my opponent's (13 seconds left, he had remaining 27 seconds), so the surprising-confusing moves were executed. It is a common tactic in Blitz and (normal/hyper/ultra) Bullet. Usually, it was done when the player had little time remaining, for... glory, of course 😂 Unfortunately, I still had trustworthy focus to notice the utter confusion. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Chess: Russian Game: Cozio (Lasker) Attack

I played white side. This was a 3 minutes game of Blitz(krieg) at lichess.org as "Anonymous". The game was ended by resignation by black side. If continued, it would be checkmate in two moves. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.
