My Unbelievable Blitz Victory :-) 1500-Rated Amateur Flags Grandmaster!

Hello fellow chess.com'ers :-)

https://youtu.be/sxOpAOzfcgY

I started by berserking a 1468-rated player in the first round of the Lichess Bundesliga Tournament with the ChessDojo Team, securing a surprising victory that catapulted me into a matchup with a Grandmaster in the next game. The GM decided to berserk as well, halving his time, which set the stage for an intense 3+0 blitz battle.

During this high-stakes match, my heart rate skyrocketed from 63 to 100 bpm!

With the odds stacked against me, I managed to hold my ground and ultimately flagged him, securing a win on time!

This game is a testament to the unpredictability of blitz chess and how even underdogs can have their day. I'm still soooo happy.

Very best. Yours, Jan
