Hey ChessGoals Goalie,
I can’t believe it.
I was on a good run in the last Titled Tuesday with a perfect score. You’ll never guess who I got paired against. Magnus Carlsen! We played a Catalan/Ragozin-type structure, and I had the black pieces. This is a game I’ll never forget, and I wanted to share it with you all. I’ve never been so nervous about playing a game of online chess in my life.
After about move three, I started recording, and I didn’t get my lights turned on for a few more moves. I hope you enjoy the game.
