2000+ player falls for an opening trap and never recovers!

Check out my 5 0 blitz game where a 2000+ player snatches one of my poisoned pawns and never recovers after he takes it!

I realize that I did not play perfectly, but my opponent was rated 400+ points higher than me and my play was good enough to eventually checkmate him. Please post your honest opinion on this game. Thanks.

well, I would not call it and opening trap

I agree with #2. He just took the wrong piece at the wrong time, which resulted in your benefit.

Anyways, congrats on your win!

Even more surprising is that he'd taken this poisoned pawn in the exact same position before, as can be seen in the opening DB: nl.lichess.org/6f4mtcAL#20

Let me know when it's a 2400+ player or a non-blitz game. There's no point in posting this game IMO when he loses in one move because of a skewer. Anyways, congrats.

Let Shakespeare have his little moment. He beat a 2000 rated player in 5 0. He was David beat Goliath. Well done.

Well done. But this is not a poisoned pawn... Just a blunder.

neat

good job on your victory but everyone makes mistakes even a 2700+ can blunder badly sometimes.
