The Rosen trap is a hilarious way to steal draws in lost positions

Idea, have your opponent check you with their queen on b3 or c2 (or the corresponding positions for the other corners). Then move the king into the corner and hope they move their king. Or, get your king into the corner and try to make your opponent go to b3 or c2 with their queen It helps if you have a pawn or something there to bait them into going there. It surprisingly works occasionally even at low intermediate ratings. The key is that the KQ vs K position before the draw feels like checkmate is possible in a turn or two but it's actually mate in 4 and you have to be quite careful each turn still.

My opponent is 150, is that the reason why it's only +1???

My first brilliant!

I clicked on show moves but how is me sacrificing my rook to be taken by the knight a good move? I ended up winning but I’m genuinely curious

Mate in 2 I found in my game

I call this the smothered bluff

It worked :3

less gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I keep getting my ass handed to me by Stockfish 5. To cheer myself up, I played Stockfish 3… Which was clearly dropped on its head a few times too many during early development.

Chess Explanation?

So I haven't played chess since I was a kid and I'm trying to get back into it. I played as white and the last movie was played by black where one of my queens took their bishop. The game auto-ended right there calling it a draw! I don't understand how that would be a draw. Can someone please explain this?

my friend dared me to change my flag to north korea and I got this after a win, am i doing this right?

Why is this move a miss?

Black’s knight is preventing my rook from doing a mate in one and it’s being attacked, neither of its escape squares can help it defend my rook’s attack and black’s bishop can’t take my knight because it is pinned to the king.

Black has forced mate

Glad I saw that in game, opponent was up by +6
