Gotta love the sudden doubt setting in as a 1200 plays the opening perfectly and then spends an unholy amount of time on the most obvious forced move.

This really is the experience at 1200 level lol. In one game, your opponent plays a perfect master-level opening against your niche variation and drops a piece on move 12. The next game your opponent hangs a pawn on move 2, autopilots a3 and h3 for no reason, and volunteers to play a losing endgame. Then Magnus Freakin' Carlsen shows up for the third game to 90% CAPS you to death.

As a 1200 player, your opponent wasn't thinking at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVTuWo4u5qo&t=250">4:10</a>, they were letting out a long, painful vocalization of despair upon realizing how stupid they were

Time to watch a Gotham video, think 'this seems easy and logical enough, let me go destroy someone in 800 elo chess' and blunder my queen 6 moves in.
