Game analysis - A (somewhat dubiously) hyperaggressive treatment of the Ruy Lopez#1 I was really happy with this game for a few reasons: I played well, with an acp of just 22 despite the game being only 26 moves long, and it also pushed my rapid rating up above 2050.

Lichess Feedback - Please add a Chess960 category to the front page for quick pairings#1 While I like my opening theory as much as any other chess player, I do occasionally like to just throw it all away and have some fun with 960.

Game analysis - My greatest positional masterpiece?#1 What a game this was! As a low-rated player, getting to actually play such a perfect game was an incredible feeling. https://lichess.org/ZOUOWwHh/black | Musicrafter12 |
Game analysis - Playing the King's Gambit against someone 135 Elo above me? Hell yeah#1 I know the game isn't perfect and I definitely butchered the opening quite a bit. In fairness this was a rapid game and my opponent failed to capitalize on his opportunities as well which means he did… | Musicrafter12 |
Lichess Feedback - Lichess should add quantum chess as a variant.#1 Self-explanatory. I've been disappointed that this game doesn't appear to be playable anywhere online and there's only really the Steam app you have to pay for to get. As long as it's not copyrighted … | Musicrafter12 |
