I am a chess enthusiast. I learned chess from my mother.I played some U-21 tournaments in my country, but I am not a rated player. My favorite opening is the English Opening. If I have to chose one chess player as my hero...I will have to push aside Tal, Spassky, Bronstein, Fischer, Ivanchuk and chose Korchnoi...the name is an inspiration...Should I give one of my most recent games? After finishing the game, my experience was, that I played okay...there were some tense moments in the middle though...
So here is the game,

I see other profiles that are so witty, and at first glance I might come across as a boaster, but what can I do, I like to share my chess games, so here's another game played on September 9, 2021. This was a 3|2 blitz game in chess.com. My opponent was from Netherlands.
Twistedbird (NED)(1100) vs Saniyat (BAN) (910)
B01:Scandinavian Defense: Mieses-Kotr?, Gubinsky-Melts, Schiller-Pytel Variation

I won't say 25...Qxf5 was a sacrifice :P and by the way 4...c6 was a mouse-slip...!
