The near-immortal words of GM Peter Svidler (now 8-time Russian Champion, and one of my favourite players, nay, people of all time), in a streamed online Banter Blitz game against IM Lawrence Trent. Peter went on to get utterly smashed in that game as Lawrence hacked and sacked his way to a very fun and impressive win.
Since I'm a bit short on offers from others to rip their games apart, I've offered this one instead as a Christmas treat, fresh from the WCCF 4th Invitational where I've secured the CCE Title and a CCM norm. So, in typical Welsh/me tradition, I've ripped into the victor as much as I can, whilst also providing a (hopefully) fun and interesting game against fellow Welshie, Danny den Drijver. I'd like to think I played in the spirit of Lawrence, and that Peter would here, too, give his famous (but, fortunately, not last) words.
