was at a party pissed out of my mind and my friends who know I play chess wanted to see how good I was, so I played some blitz on lichess and this was the result
Beat: After a long drag-out battle with a guy I was stuck where he had a forced mate I think.
Brag: He played something else and now it looks like I will win, eventually.
Material is even but I've got 2 Rooks, and 6 pawns, 1 of which is passed and a serious threat to promote. He's got 4 pawns, a Queen, and Knight. We're on move 58.
Like I said! I couldn't believe he played Ne2+. I had a full write-up and subsequent computer analysis write-up in my blog. He made 5 blunders but they were very late and very sizable.
Many people wonder how top players deal with pressure. For example, I was aware of the site Chess By The Numbers, and although not paying overly close attention, I knew that in the last round there was some slim possibility that if I drew, Tomashevsky could overtake me.
Brag: topped the best list at the new ICC 25+10 pool
Beat: lost to IM Chessexplained and will probably end up on youtube
Variance: getting 20 games in that pool is hard

Congrats man, that's excellent. Also, the ratings deflation in that pool is ridiculous.
