Wild things happen in blitz

Every Northsider has won several games after four rounds.  Some of the wins are remarkable.  Slav, rated about 1450, played someone rated over 2000, and split his games 1-1.  Some of the not-wins are still remarkable.  Although Max lost a couple games in the first round, he felt OK about both games; he later found out that his opponent was rated 2300 - stratospheric!  Then Max tried a deliberately crazy blitz opening - he began by moving his pawn out one square, then moved his king on the second move out toward the center of the board.  Everyone knows this is a terrible thing to do - it just hands your opponent the opportunity to attack your king.  But it drove his opponent crazy trying to capitalize on Max's "bad opening", -- he made a mistake, and Max took him to task and won the game!
