I did it! At this hour so early and without caffeine! I won! I just had beaten a 1375 or there about a higher rated player and my foot and walking is something else to be desired. I trapped his queen it was so cute. It was an exhibition game but I do mind losing them just as well even though they don't count in the ratings. My opponent made a strategic error not a hand me over error mistake.
This is what we chess players live for the unexpected victory despite all the loses we have suffered. It gives us a ray of hope. For this game at this hour I had beaten the odds even though it wasn't for ratings. My opponent was moving with lightning speed which can be intimidating just as is the opponent who trash talks during a game which is very annoying and distracting but during an online game I've learned; the disable feature of online chess games is a blessing.
