My best win (highest rated opponent) ever, taking me to my best blitz rating ever, and in just 13 moves.
https://www.chess.com/live/game/1987701723 A good example of luck in chess actually. I had a dubious opening and didn't plan the winning combination, but when I was forced to look for it or lose material, I was lucky that it was there.
I have to run.
I started learning chess openings finally and remembered how bad I am. Strangely I kinda prefer black more.

I had never heard of the Immortal Game until reading an article about the upcoming Blade Runner sequel. What an amazing game

I was thinking this would work about as well as Fischer's return. Then again, Fischer's one match with Spassky all by itself produced a worthy brilliancy.

What an amazing game There's disagreement about it, but some chess historians think the Immortal Game was never actually played fully over the board. (We'll probably never know for sure; records aren't what they are now.) If you want to see another really entertaining game of dubious authenticity, I've always liked this game.
