The first checkmate that truly surprised me (I'm white and didn't expect it at all)

Never play h6

What about it?

If black had a pawn on h7, this idea would be completely unworkable - no Qg6+. But on h6? Chop

Since people were showing off their first ever brilliant moves

Why is this a stalemate?

Mate in 2

What about it?

This is my earliest checkmate!

Can you guys see the move for white? I did

My First brilliant move

What about it?

My first brilliant.

Black to play and win a queen

What about it?

In the game I played Nxc7+ and my opponent took the knight with his Queen. Then I could play Qe7#. Had he taken with his bishop I would’ve taken the Queen with my bishop. Sacking a knight and a bishop for a Queen and a pawn

How often do such close games happen around 1200-1250+? Here it was all about creating and pushing that passed pawn, is that atypical? Yeah, I missed that bishop X-ray, and I did an inaccuracy which could have cost me my pawn, but overall that was an 86 vs 77 accuracy game at around 1150 elo each

I lost 3/4 of these games due to mis-clicks, seems like playing on phone isn't a wise choice

I just captured a pawn, lol
