They didn't let me have the smothered mate
What about it?
This was a 5 minute blitz game and my opponent blundered a few of their pieces. I was yet to reach the satisfaction of the smothered mate that I frequently encounter while doing puzzles but it didn't happen.
am I focusing on rapid too much? should I catch up on bullet and blitz?
The wildest game I played so far
Just your average 400 ELO chess game
Fun mate in 3 I got today which I think would be a good puzzle.
What about it?
Would have posted this sequence from earlier in the game... I thought I had mate in 5 or 6 but after looking at the analysis turns out I didn't, worked out anyway though
I played the game well, got 2 queens and a rook, but still can't get the enemy king to checkmate. Any thoughts?
Blessed be
Two pawns down.
Missed mate in three.
What about it?
This one was difficult to see live. Took their queen instead.
A rather obtuse M3 in my novice opinion
What about it?
[Black to move] hint : I was so close but so far from making the right starting move
My first brilliant move!!
