Chess: Drunk Bard Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit

I played offence.

Here's the opening position:

Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit opening position

The tipsy placements after the Tennison Gambit bit were indeed wild.

Expectedly, I did PLENTY of blunders as the aggressor.

But!

Hats off to the defence side for being generous, obviously.

The defence side was quite baffled I assume, by the way the online indicator stayed green for more than 3 seconds after the checkmate. I did NOT laugh, composed(ly holding it together) — I did smile a bit after the online indicator turned grey.

The speculative opening combined with the speculative tipsiness were indeed both confusing.

Be my guest.

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.

That game is clearly chaotic. Thus, it is post-worthy.

The lesson here is that whilst we were coding an application and somehow got bored and bloody procrastinating, chess would make us a bit ninny gradually. Structurally ninny.


Tennison

Tennison is taken from Otto Mandrup Tennison. A rather obscure but bold Danish-born American chess player from the 19th century. We might think there is tennis ðŸŽū somehow involved in it, but I'm afraid not. Directly.


🍚 Drunk Bard

The character began with my application's option for converting numbers into English words, available on Port Raptor. And, this is the introduction about the application. It is simply because Drunk Bard embodies English.
