Eventually I know my rating will go down, and badly. But for now I'm enjoying the ride to 2600!

Kudos!!! May I ask what your otb rating is?

I'm unofficially retired (haven't played classical in more than 10 years, ). Even then I played sporadically. Last rating I remember was just below 2000

I assumed you are certainly 2000+, wow.

Have you ever played underpromotion in an actual game where it was the best move? This one is my first!

Not perfect, but an example of developing long-term plans and seeing them through to the end.

Nice game. But, not to take away from your win, but I wonder if 18...Rg6?? was a mouse slip. It's so ridiculously bad. Was this a bullet game?

A Ruy Lopez with the early f5 pawn push. Analysis gives 17...Nh5 a "!! brilliancy", but I don't quite see it. I thought the move was pretty obvious. I mean, if I found it, how 'brilliant' can it be?wink

Your game with the caro-kann, is the same fun line I've been experimenting with. Here your game with additional notes. Hope you like it!

Great game and congrats on your new best rating. I just got myself to a new high as well in lichess.

That's no brilliancy, but it is a fine move indeed. White made so many unnecessary moves before castling, no wonder he got mated in the middle of the board

A brute force attack (also I just got to 2600!)

Interesting game. It's funny, black didn't play Nh5 after 8.g5, but played it a few moves later after 11.h5. Either way loses a pawn, but I think the way the game went, 11...Nxh5, was the worse choice.
