1st Horde Grand Master Norm (HGM)

ACCIDENT?!

So I join the Hourly Horde Bullet Arena with the intention of getting a Horde National Master Norm (HNM) But not a Horde Grandmaster Norm (HGM). At first when I saw that @Bandz007 is playing and I thought that I would no be able to complete the HNM norm because I always lost to him. BUT... he lost in his 1st game @Keviin9

Game One

Game 1, I was playing against @onesinatahu. I barely won that game with a second left on my clock while I flagged him.

Game Two

@Keviin9 Yes the one that beat @Bandz007 in the 1st game to save me playing against him. I try to go for a fortress with black but I mess up. Insted of going 3...a5 I had to go a6 to make a fortress. BUT THEN... on move 29 his internet went out and when it came back, he was left with 17 seconds on the clock and I flagged him!

Game Five

I was playing against @@stEtz. He is a good bullet player (Atleast for me) but in this game i deafeted him preatty easily. I do like my move 77.Qf4 not allowing his king to escape.

Game Six

I was super exited because I saw that my performance rating was 2600. @MaltyzNikolay was my oponent. He made a interesting knight re-route to take my pawn on g6 from b8 - f8 and the other one from g8 - e7.

Game Seven

I was SUPER exited since I had a 2640 performance and I was thinking that even if I lost this game, my performance would be 2300+ to qualifie for HNM norm. I was playing again with @Keviin9.

2632 Rating performance for me (2155 rated at the time of writing this) is insane. I think no 2100 ever performed like this before. I also uploaded a video about my norm:
