Around 1900 in rapid and normal play, slightly higher in blitz.

Looks good, I will try it tomorrow at the tournament I'm playing at currently. I need some tricks now for an easier win, I'm out of form now.
Do you play on chess.com?
Only lichess now, chess.com is full of cheaters and I've been tired of them.

I luckily won a pawn yesterday in the opening and slowly converted it into a win, my opponent didn’t have any counterplay (happened in the county league).

If in doubt and you are likely to lose, just tip the chess table up.

I was playing the computer the other day
I was pretty fed up with my position
Played a move I thought nothing of and the computer resigned
Even having studied it for 20 minutes I had no idea why.

It was probably bored mate. Maybe the computer wanted to play the chess equivalent of Bazball?

I play quite kamikaze chess
The programme I use it always tells you what opening is being played.
It very quickly stops as I'm off book immediately
