When Your Game is Beautiful and Brilliant...Until Time Trouble Mixes The Pot. :)
Hello Good People of The Lichess Realm!Ever had that the feeling of experimenting with your openings lately? I have always been a Sicilian player against e4 by white...but guess what...we're spicing things up! (But only mild to moderate..as I have a low spice tolerance)
I've recently been dabbling with the Modern Defense, and adding a little sting to it...expanding on the Queenside...a ala Carlsen style! This was my most recent rapid game with it...and while I was proud of my fairly accurate dynamic intentions (and while employing decent calculations), time trouble got the best of what would have been a really good game. Yes. Oh No.
Of course as a patzer at lichess and small content creator at youtube, I can only be proud of such ok-esteemed achievement, but I thought I would share this one with you good people!
Please do tell me what you think...with vivid descriptions if you so like!
Without any more walls of text...here it is!
