Review: Saturday Hive Chess S1R10

 Every Saturday, the chess brothers come together to participate in a fun tournament - the Saturday Hive Chess. This initiative has been going on for 10 weeks now, and it's all thanks to our host, @sam.chess. Not only do outstanding players receive rewards, but we also get to learn from each other. Plus, the tournament is always fun. Today, we played the 10th round of the tourney. Although I was a bit under the weather, the tournament wasn't so bad. I managed to finish 4th with 18 points. As usual, I'll be reviewing some of my games. **JUSTFAVOUR VS @Fiona77**  I lost my first game and in my second game, I got paired against Fiona77. I decided to beserk. I decided to beserk all my games against lower-rated players and I think I won all. One thing I have come to realize about Chess 960 is that you have to be very careful of your opening. One wrong move and you might put yourself in big trouble. We started the game well, trading pieces until Fiona77 blundered their Queen. As soon as I captured it with my bishop, they resigned.  PGN: 1. g3 d5 2. Bg2 e6 3. e3 Nb6 4. f4 Qd7 5. Nb3 Na4 6. e4 Qb5 7. exd5 exd5 8. Rxe8+ Qxe8 9. Bxd5 Qb5 10. Bg2 f5 11.

Justola has been away due to school exams and he is finally back. Welcome back, brother. My first game against him went well. At first, things were going in his favour. I lost a few pawns, but the narrative changed when I pulled off a sweet move. I captured his Rook, and after a few moves, he blundered his Queen. I delivered a sweet checkmate afterwards.  PGN: 1. f4 g6 2. Nc3 Nd6 3. g3 Nc6 4. Bg2 a6 5. Bxc6 dxc6 6. Be3 Bg7 7. Nd3 Nb5 8. Rb1 f5 9. Nxb5 axb5 10. Nc5 Kc8 11. a3 Bxb2 12. O-O Rxa3 13. Qg2 Bd4 14.

In fact, they performed outstandingingly well in today’s tournament. The mistake I made was to beserk them. I should have known better. I guess I pulled off that move because I wanted more points. Unfortunately, I lost on time. Maybe if I had not beserked the game I would have won. Just maybe.  PGN: 1. f4 f5 2. Nf3 g6 3. Nf2 Nd6 4. Ne5 Bg7 5. Nfd3 Ndf7 6. Bd4 Nxe5 7. Bxe5 Bxe5 8. Nxe5 Nf7 9.
