This is day 160 of my journey to get to a rating of 2000 on chess.com.
In this game we play a Sicilian Defense.
I think overall we played fairly well. My opponent just blundered, and we didn't have to do too much special to win it. wooo
So far on the series:
101 wins 9 draws 79 losses

Owen: "Hyper accelerated dragon variation" Me: "HAH Nerd!"

[@Blunder_Man]

Hahahahaha, I felt like such a nerd as soon as I said that 😂😂😂

[@phanindrakumar3221]

My favourite opening for black well played 🎉

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks man!! Yeah, it wasn't my win, more of my opponents loss haha

[@gravitraxrocker]

Nice game! Btw a fork of king queen and both rooks is a family fork

[@Blunder_Man]

According to Wikipedia, a family fork is just king queen and any other piece in general.

@@Blunder_Man Ok good to know, I didn't look it up on wikipedia, thnik gotham said that once

[@gaius68]

Good win Owen!

[@Blunder_Man]

Yes!! Thanks Gaius!!

Hyper accelerated dragon variation sounds like something a character in a video game or anime would shout out before attacking. 🤩I am going to go learn how to play this opening. Just because I love it's name lol. And it seemed to work really well for you this time, great work.

[@Blunder_Man]

Def fits the anime vibe haha, it's super simple to learn, let me know how it goes!

[@CrescentMoon55]

Question for anyone who knows. Is pushing your queenside pawns usual for this opening? I struggle to formulate strong middle game plans.

[@Blunder_Man]

I think one thing to watch for in this opening is after developing your pieces to active squares, look for a pawn break. I think in the dragon you often wanna look for d5! A way to prepare d5 is by playing e6, which you can see in this game was the move I failed to spot (2:29 in the video)

Bravo!!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks brother!
