Today's Game Highlights and Analysis
JUST_OLA VS MIXZYRAGNAL
I often beserk Mixzygarnal and he beats me cos of that, LOL.
This round, I decided to risk it all again and beserk and I was fortunate to win the round.
My opponent played white and opened with the Scandinavian Defense: Modern Variation.
White's Blunder:
Here was the blunder that gave opportunity for me to win. White fumbled his Queen at e2, I captured his Queen and after a few more moves, White resigned and I won the round.

JUST_OLA VS SOUTHGAMER
SouthGamer has become even a more formidable opponent.
My opponent played black and beserked, I played White and opened with the Sicilian Defense: Closed, Chameleon Variation.
Black had the upper-hand but I was able to use his time constraint to my advantage. He tried to secure a draw but I decided to vary my moves and dabble round the board a bit till he ran out of time and I won the round.

๐ My Schedule
Lmao, I was running to my phone to put off my alarm and quickly connect to Saturday Arena Game. It then dawned on me that we played the last round for the year last week. That's how I almost fell and broke my head for a game sha. ๐น
It is well, See you all next week โฅ๐ฏ
