C42 Petroff Defence: 3.Nxe5 and unusual White 3rd moves (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.Bc4 d5)

The game you will see now was played in the second round of a 15 minute rapid tournament at the FIDE Online Arena. This was one of the many times when I have encountered a player that is clearly underrated and lost against them. I think Podusova's unmonitored rating at the time we played this game was over 2200, so definitely a higher quality player than I have been able to be so far. This of course based on my memory as I can't check from anywhere that those ratings were actually where I remember them to be but I think my memory serves me right on this occasion. I have adjusted my thoughts a bit so that when these type of things happen in the future, it will not bother me that much. At the time it did annoy me that I was facing players whose official elo ratings are very low but are clearly much better players. I will go and see what will happen in the tournament today at the FIDE Online Arena but I am quite convinced at this point that the highest title that I will be able to get is that of a Arena FIDE Master or AFM for short. I think I should be able to get the Arena International Master title later as well but it will take a lot longer than I previously thought. I basically underestimated the skill levels of other players while maybe overestimated my abilities in this player pool at least. Well, I may have learned my lesson in that regard and think about the games more realistically from now on. I have added three mate in twos, one mate in three and one mate in four today. Until tomorrow, my fellow chess enthusiasts!
