I've played this exact game several times as black, so i guess its time to share so i can play more interesting games.
Your average opponent is 300pts below your current rating for blitz.
My technique for avoiding easybeats is to set my seeks to -100/ +200.
I don't think you would have easy material gains very often if you stuck to stronger players
the average opponent thing only takes the average from rated games, i play mostly unrated, with seeks set to -200/2800. i know i should play rated more though ;)
