Dad’s battle against a 2427 player on Playchess :)

By Yelena Dembo | September 27, 2016 - 11:26 |September 27, 2016 Games

My dad played a very interesting game earlier today and beat a 2427 player (bullet rating, while his blitz rating at that point was 2500+) in a 2 minute game. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 😀
