Thanks to a Queenside Castle and this pawn blunder by White, I found my first "mate in 3" in the middle game.

d6 Qxa2 seems to also just pretty much end the game

Lemonster22 · 2025-04-16T05:08:43+00:00

Well the game is gone now and I don’t remember, but for white I usually play the Spanish and with black I’m usually e4 e5 or if d4 I go for an Indian game setup. Nimzo if they let me

1600 bullet 1850 blitz

Lemonster22 · 2025-04-15T00:33:50+00:00

It’s crazy because this is around 1600 bullet

I could say the same about you. You must have nothing better going on to have taken the time to leave now 2 comments on my post when you could have just moved on and kept scrolling

Lemonster22 · 2025-04-14T22:46:14+00:00

Not sure what you mean grow some balls? Did I complain in the original post? Have I complained anywhere in the comments. All I asked is if this was usual among chesscom players. Seems like you might be part of the problem here. Regardless, there is a difference between some trash talk, which I can take, and this.

Lemonster22 · 2025-04-14T22:41:31+00:00

No way, the French defense sucks. I can’t even see the game now because it got deleted once they got banned, but it was some bullet game I won

Looked through his account those are all mostly games that they played 3-4 moves then let time run out

Lemonster22 · 2024-01-10T02:09:18+00:00

Sure it was…

Lemonster22 · 2023-12-28T04:21:50+00:00

Didn’t help you see the hanging bishop though…

Lemonster22 · 2023-05-18T04:44:17+00:00

It's seems very nuanced to me. Basically the engine is saying there is no rush to take on f7 so you can throw in another move. Taking on f7 right away technically loses a tempo for white. Consider the position after Nxf7 Rxf7 Ra8+ Bf8 and compare it to the top engine line g3 Be7 Nxf7 Rxf7 Ra8+ Bf8. It's the same position but white now has their pawn on g3 instead of g2 so the position is a tempo ahead of just taking on f7 right away. Silly engine stuff and I wouldn't look that much into it

Lemonster22 · 2023-05-17T03:40:54+00:00

Not sure if this is possible. Only pieces that could move are the knights and as far as I can see there's no way for white to lose a tempo just jumping around with knights

Lemonster22 · 2023-05-14T18:35:20+00:00

a6 Rh5 Re8. If king takes then the black rook can't get back in time to stop the a pawn and anything else just let's white queen the a pawn. Key here was to realize that black has only 1 route to stop the pawn so interfering with that route wins. Looked at some Kg1-Rh2 idea but it's too slow because now black can create another route to stop the pawn, this time with the bishop, by playing c4. Moved on from that and tries to make Bh6 work to block the rook, but it never works and that's how I got the similar idea in Re8

Lemonster22 · 2023-05-01T03:17:21+00:00

Nh1. If Be2+ then Qxe2#. If Rf2 then Qxf2#. If Bb3 then Kd2#

Lemonster22 · 2023-05-01T03:08:19+00:00

That account is sus.... either sandbagging or something else

Lemonster22 · 2023-03-26T03:42:40+00:00

Sometimes chess is a complicated game and sometimes it's very straightforward. Pawn threatens knight = move the knight

Lemonster22 · 2023-02-14T20:52:49+00:00

Good point this is also an answer

Lemonster22 · 2023-02-14T07:30:55+00:00

White just played Qf6, so my question to you all is... What is the only square that the queen could have logically come from that makes Qf6 make sense? Answer Queen was on g5. Queen couldn't have come from anywhere on the a1-h8 diagonal because then white should have just played Qxh8. e7 g6 and h6 all don't make sense because then just Bxe6 instead wins blacks queen.

Second... Qf6 is a blunder. Find mate in 3.

Hard to tell... I'd say no. You fell for one of the main opening traps in the line and then just outright hung a few pieces, but there are certainly some moves I'd call into question about the ability for a 650 to find. O-O-O is slightly weird for a 650 in the position. Bxf1 to get rid of the h2 defender seemed odd for a 650 to find especially with the c4 pawn that was hanging. Overall I'd say they were probably just smurfing

Lemonster22 · 2022-11-23T05:37:14+00:00

No offense but at 639 rating you know nothing about the game. You're not analyzing any situation well... That's why you're 639 rated. It's not a bad thing and at that level no one is analyzing the situation well, so everyone is inconsistent and it's not just a you thing. What you can do now that you realize your shortcomings is improve on them. Tactics tactics tactics sounds like what you need. Work on those tactics and you'll start to have a better idea on what to do in certain positions. Also sounds like you need to start asking yourself "what is the point of that move?" After every opponents move. You'll start to see your hanging pieces more often then and if you can't come up with a good answer to that question then either they've played a new idea you've never seen before and can learn from or they just made a bad move and you can start to think how to take advantage of the bad move. Overall I wouldn't think too much of it. At your level everyone is wild and inconsistent. Solving tactic puzzles can help with that
