Game 1719830 😳 (game in progress, but the only reason why I haven't resigned yet is that we have a nice conversation)

Game 1122427

lol, i have no doubt that you can beat me anytime with any opening 😉
but sometimes everything works out and we get games like this, lol, I just love playing it. Almost always nice and short games, either you win or lose in less then 20 moves, lol
