Yeah that's a good thing to do, most people aren't brave enough to do that lol.
It's funny though, I haven't even changed my rating seek once but I always seem to find players who are 100 rating points higher lol.
Just played a decent game

Upon analysing the game I made a lot less mistakes than I thought, though I still played the early middlegame pretty badly as expected.
I was feeling that I was lost after 14. e5 (which I felt I had to play to stop black from getting super active and smashing me on the e-file; I did consider Rf3 as the computer suggested but thought it looked superficial and even straight up silly).
But after he got greedy and snacked on the c2 pawn I thought I may have something (still knew I was worse) and pushed for an attack, ignoring the potential loss of a pawn in the centre or the b2 pawn etc. Luckily my opponent demonstrated a significant lack of defensive skill and cracked under the pressure
- although it must be said that it is far easier to attack than to defend in chess.
I'm not that happy with my play since I outplayed him in the opening and then more or less threw my advantage away with a seemingly strong Nd5, but I'm happy with my attitude in the sense that I played for activity and an attack on the queenside to try to keep the pressure on despite feeling like resigning.
