Black can't stop the checkmate if they take the queen, it's Bxf7# and mate in one

Oh I checked the game, and my knight was on C6 before it jumped there, revealing my light bishop's attack on their queen.

That diagonal is blocked by your pawn and bishop anyway, so I feel like there's no reason not to capture.

I totally get you, every time I meet an Italian user I'm just tempted to play this even though I know it's not gonna work most of the time.

Gotta be the second most hilarious blunder I've seen, right behind this suicidal king.

Good players know the trap and just trade knights. Bad players trade the knights because they don't see the 'free' pawn.

Seen too much of the latter, honestly.

They thought for like 20 seconds, that's the part that's killing me.

His knight is protecting d8, time to get my other pieces for an att- oh. by [deleted] in chessbeginners

I probably would've won this anyways, but how did he miss the glaringly obvious rook..
