Marshall Weekly U1600 90+30 Round 6

AnalysisTournamentOver the board
Vs. Ken Jennings. No - the other one.

In my final game in the Marshal Weekly 90+30 U1600, I faced the Scandinavian and decided to play the unsound but fun(?!) Tennison Gambit. My opponent opted for a safe line where we exchanged queens, and then about 20 more moves followed until - under slight time pressure, my opponent blundered mate in two.

Incidentally, in post-game analysis (finally! someone was interested in doing so), my opponent mentioned he was a Broadway performer for years. It turns out he was in the original cast of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Pretty cool!
