The American goes for the McDonald's attack

[@Blunder_Man]

@@Luke-v1q7p lol, wuttt

[@delibirdempire4792]

The mate in one blunder in the second game though 😂

[@Blunder_Man]

@@delibirdempire4792 hahhaa my apologies

[@hamishmaxa6509]

Yeh took his opponent about 10 seconds to decline that gambit.

[@r0bz0rly]

The blunders in the first game were hilarious hahaha. Watching the analysis board as you played cracked me up. I wouldn't have known it was a blunder either, that was a cool line

[@Blunder_Man]

@@r0bz0rly hahaha, man I wish I had an analysis board when playing, would help me so much lol

[@r0bz0rly]

@@Blunder_Man gotta make an alt account and play 15 minute rapid with 10 sec increment, pull up the lichess analysis board and join the rest of the cheaters in that time control hahaha
(don't do this you're my favourite daily uploader).

[@Blunder_Man]

@@r0bz0rly I ain't stooping that low, tomorrow's game will blow you away though, you're gonna be truly amazed and bewildered at my big brain

[@Proxoor]

Aahhaha what an unlucky blunder in the second game, as soon as you played Kh2 I thought “if he goes to h3 and the rook is opened up it’s mate” and it happened just next second 😂 awesome video

[@Proxoor]

Oh god the opponent didn’t spot it ☠️

[@Blunder_Man]

@@Proxoor we got lucky today haha

[@alvinmuffin7328]

my heart stopped when he blundered mate in 1

[@Blunder_Man]

😂😂😂😂

[@mikobatorfi]

Love this channel mate! May I ask: Where does your ‘accent’ originate from? Anyway, keep up the great content man!

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks so much brother! I was born in England, grew up in northern Ireland, went to highschool/college in the US, went to South Korea for five years and hung out with South Africans... Bit of a mumble jumble of many accents haha

[@mikobatorfi]

@@Blunder_Man well, that’s it! I hear some Afrikaans accent, but not always. So, you’re a well-travelled man by the looks of it! Thanks for answering brother!

[@Blunder_Man]

Haha yeah for sure brother

[@SpoopySh1ny]

Always keep careful with playing Bg4 with a bishop on the a2-g8 diagonal! Even GM's forget about this fact sometimes.

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks brother!! Yes

[@you0neville0tube]

rare quote: "four blunders? that's incredible"

[@Blunder_Man]

@@you0neville0tube hahahaha

[@alexbeteros3825]

Good job Mr. Blunder

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks big tuna!

[@Fly2SkyGAMING]

if he woulda found that mate in 1 i would've cried too, gg wp, nice rating, road to 1800 soon 👆

[@Blunder_Man]

Haha, yeah man, ahhh haha, stuff of nightmares

[@galaxyn1908]

Hey Owen! How are you doing in the U.S.A? Your chess content is helping me learn by watching your videos almost everyday. By the way, you made a typo for your title, "Playing Chess until I hit 2000: Day 225" instead of Day 226. When playing chess, always try to think and look for some tactics or strategies while your opponent is thinking, that way when it's your move, you have less time to think. I hope this helps.

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks so much!! And thanks for catching the typo!!!

[@chrisbadger8684]

You took 2 seconds to blunder mate in 1, with 3 minutes 9 seconds on the clock. If you take an extra second or two to do a blunder check you probably don't make that mistake.

[@Blunder_Man]

yeah you're probably right, its just hard to remember to

[@scottyoung2601]

Missed mate in one.

[@Blunder_Man]

@@scottyoung2601 yeah, 😂😂😂

[@SkverkChess]

Keep up the good work 💪

[@Blunder_Man]

@@SkverkChess thanks big man!!

[@ok00]

Next video playing till reaching GM

[@Blunder_Man]

@@ok00 if I reach GM that'd be nuts, but you never know unless you really try for something! 2k is my current goal!

[@immortily1673]

nice bro keep on going

[@Blunder_Man]

Thanks brother!! Will do!
