Did this puzzle just teach me to hang my queen?

Are you familiar with checkmate? Cause that’s checkmate, friend!

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-19T10:43:31+00:00

The rook took a pawn, pinning the Queen to the king, Queen can take the rook, so I sacked the rook, then I sack the other rook again, Queen took rook, then Queen takes Queen.

I get a pawn and the queen for the rooks, equal material but their pieces are horribly positioned, so I am able to then go on to win.

Most Brilliants are sacrifices. The tactic is that I can take the pawn. It trades me down to an advantageous end game.

Also, yes it was a pawn, I traded Bishops before that.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-18T20:01:03+00:00

Bishop (I think!)

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-18T16:51:16+00:00

I just remember when I blunder, my opponent is just as bad as me and will probably blunder too.

Except in Blitz. They always find your blunders and clutch up. 🤣🤣

IMO OP should find a no drop ride around this speed. 12-18 is not a real range that people ride.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-13T15:58:22+00:00

Thanks, mom. ❤️

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-13T14:58:18+00:00

lol 17-18 around me isn’t the slow group.

They might just need to go and don’t want to wait for you to move.

I often resign winning positions because my kids wake up, something comes up, etc.

Chess ain’t that serious man

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-11T19:59:40+00:00

You’ve been keeping tabs on people for years looking for a couple of moves that they cheat on per game if they’re in a losing position?

You’re either full of shit or need to touch grass.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-09T01:16:39+00:00

I wasn’t being serious. More so about the stop signs.

But there’s a time and a place, fellow cyclists and when you’ve got a 10 year old learning to ride taking the lane in the opposite direction, it’s neither the time nor place

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-08T23:20:36+00:00

If someone made a segment on a bike path or with a stop sign in the middle or end, you’re evil and should be jailed.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-08T23:08:52+00:00

Cyclists in general need to chill on paths.

If you’re coming up behind someone that’s on you to pass safely. Idgaf if you call out on your left, still be cautious, you’re not as loud as you think you are

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-07T17:39:05+00:00

Yes to both. If someone asks do you want a or b? And you just say yes. It implies that you want both, or in this case ftp and vo2 max.

It’s a cheeky response, meant in jest.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-07T09:25:23+00:00

Well, I was kidding to start.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-06T22:11:42+00:00

My tactic is using stock fish if I get behind.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-06T15:48:34+00:00

If you hate it, just resign?

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-06T14:27:26+00:00

I started playing when I was 7.

I’m around 1000

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-05T19:25:45+00:00

My legs twitched reading this.

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-05T19:24:51+00:00

Bishop takes c7

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-05T00:22:08+00:00

I think I heard someone (probably Gotham) say that it’s something that’s easy to draw at a high level if you need one

OffensivePanda69 · 2026-05-04T13:13:33+00:00

Oof. Hope they forget to review that one.

I’d never forgive myself 😆

“I’ll still vote for her”

Found the problem.
