Today I played a couple of games in live chess against the same opponent. In the first game he played white and gambited a pawn in the opening. He got a strong(ish) attack and had my king pinned to the center. I made a beginner mistake and pushed a pawn two spaces forward and was then taken en passent. I resigned quickly after.
He challenged me to a rematch and I accepted. This game playing black, he gambited a pawn again! I don't think that his opening was very sound, but he almost had winning chances when I lost an exchange due to an oversight.
All in all, in my opinion, a very interesting game, and an especially amusing endgame. Time controls were 30 minutes per side with no increment, constructive criticism would be very welcome, as well as analysis. I apologize for any notatiions which are misplaced.
