My last game of the tournament was against an unrated player. If you’ve played in chess tournaments, you know unrated folks can be tricky – they’re either total newbies or seasoned players who’ve just never participated in a rated event. This guy was actually a bit of both. He hadn’t played much in tournaments, but he still came up with some interesting moves that kept me on my toes.
I went for the King’s Gambit, and pretty soon we were in weird territory. Looking at the diagrams, you can see our pieces were all over the place. It took a while to figure out what the heck was going on.
