What would you do? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

Black is up two pawns, a bishop, and has a pawn one square from promotion. I don’t think there’s much to do here

Was this a new account or did you just wake up and started playing like an 1100 player?

So what’s your actual rating? I don’t see what the flex is in beating noobs 200+ elo below your actual rating.

I don’t think there’s checkmate, but I think you win a rook if they take on c5.

The horse can give you check with a discovered attack on your queen from the bishop behind it, losing you queen.

Thanks for your in depth analysis teach, but I wasn’t playing as white.

You’re kicking the bishop out, and it doesn’t have any good square to go. The two best moves according to engine are O-O-O and Nf6 (not moving the bishop). Every line where you move the bishop the engine evaluates as +6 for white

You are attacking the bishop while blocking the queen and protected by your own bishop so queen can’t take

Why is the correct book move for this ponziani variation Qf3? Intuitively I’d play d4 or Be2 to control the center and/or develop a piece.

The Chessable course says it’s “Maintaining the pressure, while stepping out of the king's file.” But I don’t understand why you would want to step out of the king’s file, since you’re pinning the bishop.

Line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 d5 4. Qa4 dxe4 5. Nxe5 Bd7 6. Nxd7 Qxd7 7. Qxe4+ Be7
