My first brilliant move

What about it?

I’m a terrible chess player that is really enjoying learning the game. Had quite a few great moves but this my first brilliant. Blunder mistakes and misses are still unfortunately a regular feature too. I’m open to any tips, advice and recommendations 👍🏻

Trident? mate followed swiftly

Yeaaah brain left the game

Why is this a brilliant?

Is this a dumb puzzle?

What about it?

That's not a checkmate at all, right?

The best move i ever played

I hate this starting

Brilliant move lead into a forced checkmate, found a M3 instead of the M2(not M3 from this picture)

Why is this brilliant?

What about it?

Why is this brilliant? He moves the bishop in Bd1 and I move the rook in d1 but what if he put the bishop on Bf1? Anyway, this is my first brilliant!

Why is this a blunder? I would have won the bishop anyway and queened. That's actually what I did in the game.

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!
