I Accidentally BEAT My Grandmaster Boyfriend At Chess

This is Noelle, my fiancé and chess grandmaster, and together we spontaneously decided to play a game in Washington Park because I was too shy to challenge the chess hustlers. And somehow, this turned out to be the best game of my life. Two minutes I have. How much do you have? Ten. Ten. Two against ten. Wow. Ten minutes to speak chess. I have time to think. Let's go. I know you don't like this opening, right? Indeed. You never liked it. This is the Catalan opening, and the reason why I've never liked it is that while white can complete the development in an easy way with moves like Bg2, K, Nc3, Re1, e4, black has a hard time developing the pieces on the queen side due to the lack of space and the big upcoming pressure from the bishop on g2. That's why, in this game, I chose a concrete line with a clear idea in mind. But I know what to play against now. Okay. Because I have learned. What the heck? What? Ah, true. Well, usually you take first and then you play Nc6, I guess. Thank you for the lesson. Tell me more. Tell me more. I can't remember anything. That's what I'm telling you. While I was trying to make Noelle waste some of his time, the plan was very clear to me. I have an extra pawn, and in order to maintain it, I need to play Rb8, a6, and b5. White needs to stop this plan with moves like Na3, Nd5, so that the bishop is pointing at c6. I think you have to give a check. There we go. Oh, I can't remember. I think this. Take a look at what's off time to remember. No, no time. No taking time. I can't remember. Stupid. I hate openings. Let me. Goodbye. Oh. I think that's bad. Because now I'm coming with b5. Okay, but I will play this. Are you adjusting time? I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing. No, I think this is actually clear. Really? Supposed to. Take this. And then do. Oh, shoot. I nearly plundered my queen. Okay. What did you want to play? Rd1, and then b5. But now I'm fine. I played this, and I have an extra pawn. I think you're more than fine. I don't know what I did. Oh my god. Okay. I already can sense it. I crushed my GM boyfriend. Don't know what I'm doing. Do you need more time? No, it's okay. I need a better position. There we go. Okay. So. Let's play this, and then this. Nope. And then this. Oh, shit. And then this. That's not good. That's how you do it. What? Knight b4, one on exchange. Ouch. But I have strong knights. I don't even need that, you know? That's sad truth. There we go. You have 50 seconds. That's not my biggest problem. I'll play this, and then this. And your knight is almost done. Oh my god, this is my day. This is my day. Easy draw. Easy draw? Easy draw. Easy what? Draw. Easy draw. Yes, I have a problem. My knight is attacked three times, and protected only two. I cannot protect it one more time, because e4 would be a big problem. So the question is, can I move it away? And initially I thought no, because if I move my knight anywhere, I have problem on my back rank. How so? Start to talk Swiss German, huh? No, no, I'm just thinking, I need to calculate here very quick, but I need some time. Nice. And actually I found out that I can move my knight, because after queen d8, I have queen e8. So you say easy draw. Easy draw. Let's see that. Easy what? Easy draw. 30 seconds, just saying. Easy what? Draw. Easy draw. Sure. Only because of the opening. Okay, sorry, I'll go back. 22 seconds, 20 seconds. 18. You know what, I'll just go. Just run. I think you are in big danger. Big trouble. Can I play that? Yes, you can, just do it. Holy shoot! That's not good. I think it's over. Wait, I can just promote. Just trade queens. Wait, I can just promote. Just trade queens. There we go. Life is good, oh my god. Life is very good. Oh shoot. Life is very good. So lucky. Oh wait, I can check knight. Play a good move, play a good move, play a good move. Be fast. Yes. There we go. My first and last time.
