Can Cheap 7-11 Wine Inspire a Blitz Chess Victory?

hirohurl in The Chess Community • 17 days ago

It’s a late-night, midweek experiment:

I'm out of beer but have got an el-cheapo 7-11 bottle of Chilean "Gran Andes Chardonnay" that I picked up for just under ¥600.

Question: Can Gran Andes Chardonnay inspire me to win online blitz chess while commentating on the games?

I played two blitz games to find out... First as White, and then as Black.

I opened with the Queen's pawn as White, and with the hyper modern (Sniper) as Black.

Apart from the Chilean wine inspiration, my other inspiration was the Cuban grandmaster, Capablanca, although I hardly played to his level, especially in the first game when I blundered a piece in the opening, but haply in doing so drew Black's queen into a dodgy situation!

In the second game, although I didn't play Sniper practitioner Charlie Storey's recommended third move (3... d5) against White's 1.e4, 2.d4, 3.f4 pawn front, I nevertheless got myself into a nice position for a middlegame chess and endgame wine victory!

2-0 to 7-11's Chilean wine and a successful experiment! More research will be needed, however...

Meanwhile, here's the video...

Cheers!

Drinking wine will playing chess, and doing commentary on it, sounds perhaps slightly challenging, David...lol! While it may not have helped you win, I'm sure it was fun! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think luck was on your side, and perhaps some strategic moves, not the wine😁.

Congratulations 🎉🥂!

Sir, I don't think Wine was helping you to win the games.
But congratulations for your wins.

🤣 I don't think the wine helps mate even though it sounds very nice.

I haven't tried it, I'll have to give it a go to help you with the evidence 🤣. In the first game, I don't know why your opponent sacrificed the queen instead of exchanging it. The queen dependency. The second game was a Sicilian with an accelerated dragon, I think. He disconnected 🙃

Thank you for checking out my video @spartano - I was also surprised when my first opponent avoided the queen exchange when he was a piece up, and then after grabbing a pawn, sacrificed his queen for my rook!
Maybe 7-11 Chilean Chardonnay works like "sword balm" - I apply it and the other player is affected!
