Chess: Drunk Bard Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit

I played offence (white piece) — in 3 minutes Super Blitz game as Anonymous on Lichess employing drunken Tennison Gambit. The tipsy placements after the Tennison Gambit bit were indeed wild.

Expectedly, I did plenty of blunders as the offence side. But! Checkmated my opponent at 33rd banter. 💥 🤣

Hats off to the defence side — for being generous obviously — as I wore no hat to begin with.

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 gray.

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

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.

TT

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

The lesson here is that while we were coding an application and somehow bored and procrastinating, chess would make us a bit ninny gradually. Structured ninny of course.


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 somehow involved in it, but I'm afraid not. Directly.


🍺 Drunk Bard

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