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

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!
