With hivechess finished, it seems like there isn't much to do on the boards, but it's always a good time to go to lichess and play a few games, as I've been doing for the past few days. Nothing too spectacular, but definitely more active than other times when life gets in the way.

I was playing my favorite chess game, bullet, where more than strategy, reflexes and how quickly we think about attacking our enemies are also rewarded.

Each game is a real challenge. It doesn't matter if they're one or two points behind me, they can always win if I don't attack to kill. If you're one or two pieces down, that's not usually a reason to give up, and it can even be dangerous in many cases, like this game.

I had it pretty much under control, but at one point, I got careless and let the clock run out. After My opponent was very good at it and knew how to take advantage of the spaces to get a draw.

Other games are closer, and it might even be easier to play this way, with one space of the board blocked and focusing on what interests me. I love these close games in all formats, and knights are especially lethal in these positions, so there's a good chance of a great game.

Then we have some games that don't last long and are decided by some defensive blunders on one side or the other. In this case, it was my opponent who got me, although I was able to return the favor in the same way when he missed a queen combination. and bishop
