Thrilling Blitz

Sindelfinger

I'm new at Lichess, and mostly I'm playing corresponding style games elsewhere. With Blitz I'm not so familiar, and my first 2 games were thrilling for me, both drawn.

For your enjoyment I want to show one of these games here:

A blitz game against a 'Berserker'.

After 25 moves I was a bit behind with material, and after a mouse slip (25.- Rd4? instead Rxd8) I lost a rook. I thought I can resign, but then I realised, that I had almost 2 min, instead of 30 sec from my opponent. I tried to win on time though.

A few minutes before the game started a window popped up: akku almost empty. But normally it should be enough for a few minutes. Then, after my last (Forced and only) move 40. - Ke6 the screen was suddenly black, I only realised in the last moment, that my opponent had 6 remaining seconds. Okay, so this was it.

When I switched on the laptop again a minute later I saw, that a little miracle happened: my opponent found a way, to finish the game with a patt :)
