.˙.

Most bullet games pull heavily on the intuitive attacking patterns. This game explores one of those patterns against black’s kingside castle; following on from the McDonnell attack (e4 f4) against the Sicilian (c6).

Black defends properly while White continues to throw out dubious tactics. As the clocks dwindled away, a final discovery attack allowed some hope of a recovery tactic — but the chess gods wouldn’t allow it!

Be sure to clear out your dubious attacking energy in the sparring arenas; then review, reflect, and refocus to best prepare for the next event!
