I thought I was completely lost but then he hung the ice skater!

Why is this fork a mistake?

Review says that this move is a mistake. Yes, I clicked show moves and I still don’t understand. When I click show moves after Nc2+, white plays Kd1, followed by black playing Be7, and then Kxc2. In game, my opponent played Ke2 and I played Nxa1 and went on to win. My question is, in this show moves situation, why not just take the Rook? Why does Black have to play Be7? From what I can see there is no eminent attack on the king.

I got mated in 2

it hurts

Why can’t pawn take here?

I’m around 700 elo on chess.com and I was toying around with a position I saw on an Instagram reel. I got to a check with the black bishop on e5 and I don’t understand why chess.com says it’s an illegal move to take with the white pawn on f6.

Kinda embarrassed cause I didn’t even see checkmate here, just felt like Kg4 was the best move

Anyone else checkmate people accidentally? I feel like it’s not something to aspire to lol

Can someone explain to me why saving the queen is an inaccuracy? (its a puzzle and I'm REALLY confused.)

[Puzzle] How does this move lose 3 points?

I feel kinda bad

Friendly reminder that even if a game is a complete lost cause, you will learn more from playing then resigning. Who knows, maybe you'll even get lucky.

Although I lost the game in the end...
