Professional HS poker player, also very active in chess..
Been playing since i was 6, mostly online on chess.com and lichess, self taught , dont even know the coordinates except e4 , d4 etc

Have been playing unrated for the past 6 months, as i've been expanding my opening repertoire , and analyzing games after, so i fill that im ready to start rated again..

ill be playing 10+0 , 4/5 games a day , not everyday, and will post the games , perhaps some more experienced players can jump in

as white, i always liked e4, but now im using Kf3 as my main opening, mostly transitioning into the english

as black , i always used the kings pawn or the sicilian vs e4, now im using the karo-can , and vs d4 i 90% of the time play Kf6, and main lines , and not changing that , as i always did good there

i will also be solving puzzles and reviewing every game

First 40 hours , cruised pretty fast to 2k

This is my 2k game



And this is a really annoying one , where i completely outplayed him the whole game , but ended up with one minute on the clock , and pretty much mated myself

last game of the day , 4 inaccuracies and 2 mistakes , most in the first 10 moves , stockfish did not like my early sac

...........................................

last 2 days , played 7 games , was really not playing well , not managing time correctly , lost cause i was low on time, then starting playing faster , which lead to mistakes





played some e4, got into the classic sicilian which i really hate playing against , but he just blundered a pawn out of the opening , and i didnt manage to convert , as i missed Be3+




dropped under 2k, and then used my last resource as i wasnt playing well ,and played the ponziani , as i've studied this opening quite in depth and i tend to use it when im not playing that well
managed a quick win , to get back to 2k, and then quit ..

overall just playing bad , not focused enough and not managing time well
