A Lovely Accidental Checkmate
What about it?
This was a wild game. Lots of mistakes on both sides (as you might imagine). When I went back and analyzed, I realized that my opponent had mate in 1 on the board but moved the knight away instead of moving the pawn up. I then, totally realized I had mate in 1 and definitely didn’t just accidentally walk my way into it. Fun game!
My first brilliant move. (Actually 2nd but the last time I didn’t have any more free analysis left so I couldn’t go through the game move-by-move)
please help
Am I wrong to decline a draw here? I started playing recently
Why is this not a blunder (took bishop leaving queen hanging), once trades are done can’t white just move queen to avoid fork?
I sacked four pieces to force a mate towards this position, I'm white btw
How this not a brilliant move?
What about it?
I won the game after he captured the bishop.
Why don’t we move up P-h6
What about it?
Why don’t we do that to threaten Bishop? I heard it could be a blunder but why?
So this happened after I told the opponent to try King + queen mate
Is this worth being pleased about or is it easily achievable? My Rapid ELO is ~1000.
Spotting Pins
What about it?
Haven’t really played chess in 20 years. From here I took e5, white Re1 pinning my Queen to the king with no escape. How do you all recommend spotting something like that defensively?
