I've defeated 1980 rated player in the tournament!

Hello everybody! This is my first post here!
So, I've played blitz game today in the tournament against 1980 rated player instella. I'm rated 1270. This is something amazing for me!

I just want to share my joy. The hard work was rewarded and it's a motivation to continue it. I know I'm still a chess beginner as I have played only for 2 months but I'm sooo happy and want to learn more and more now.

I don't know if I should post it here or on the analysis forum because I just want to share the game. Instella if you are reading this, thank you for this great game:


I am sorry to tell you that, but for me it is clear, that instella wasn't playing seriously. A 1900 rated player wouldn't play this opening with e4 b5??? and followed by a5??. But still, your play was fine in general. So congratulations, but you should try longer time controls:)
I agree with Flops. Well played, but your opponent shouldn't have been so arrogant as to play a clearly inferior opening. Still, well done and I hope you continue to do well.
LOl I'm pretty sure you opponent was trolling you, even a 1400 wouldn't play the way he played and it's not only the opening
He wasn't propably playing that seriously, but even the top bliz player sometimes opens with b4 and a4 and stuff like that.
Good job. A lot of players will try some crazy openings to try to force less experienced players to play what I call "their game." The best advice is to play "your game" and keep your pieces protected like you did and trade pieces like you did when you were up. I only seen one blunder of your rook, but the opponent blundered many more times so good for you.
If you look at instella's chess games it seems he has been trolling quite a bit....
What do you mean by trolling? Losing on purpose to get his rating down to participate in a lower rating tournament maybe? I mean, if the person wants to just lose to someone I will take the free wins all day long haha.
