Mate in 5 I found

I don't understand why it says that queen to f6 is better than bishop to d6. Bishop to d6 defends both the pawn and the knight.

I’m pretty sure the woman has a title... ‘King and woman’

just had my first game with multiple brilliants, i feel a bit silly for fumbling the opening gambit but i bought it back

Mate in 3 that I missed

What about it?

39... C4?? checkmate is now unavoidable In the 30 turns that follow in my game log, "Lost forced checkmate sequence" appears 5 times. I eventually won, but it was painful.

Any idea why stock fish wants Nh3? (and yes, i checked show moves -- stock fish wants the knight to end up on f4 and thinks that gives an evaluation of about 1.35 v. 1.00 the end of the line with Nf3).

100% should have lost this

Why is this an invalid notation?

Why is this a brilliant? I’m only 300 elo

I managed to checkmate by promotion for the first time and with a knight!!
