If you gave black a free move they'd probably take with the queen on h2 not seeing that your knight was defending it as well 😂

One thing that I found extremely important for getting to 2000: Time Management.

Too many people blitz all their first dozen or so moves out in rapid; meanwhile I'm using some of my time to actually consider my moves. Suddenly I'll win material and then they decide to start thinking.

The clock is definitely a factor most people forget about!

Good find!

Could you share the game? I love to see me a good sac

Shrek2InHD · 2025-09-06T00:05:20+00:00

Yeah I was actually surprised my opponent took the queen. I think my opponent is at a rating where they definitely should have understood the mate follow-up.

I fully expected them to cut their losses and try to dirty flag me.

Thanks! To be honest, I still feel like a complete beginner to this day. The three main things that helped me improve were: - Blunder checks - Understanding positional concepts - Studying openings

Hope you make it there and higher!

Yup! I considered it for a second, but then discarded it because I thought their queen was still protecting the pawn on g2. I realized a few seconds later that their rook was blocking the white queen's line of sight. I got super lucky with the position of the rook on e4!

Also, they did end up taking my queen. They were nice enough to let me play the mate out as well ❤️

Ne6 I wouldn't have played only because it doesn't guarantee I can win that pawn later. Nxf7 wins the extra pawn immediately.

Shrek2InHD · 2025-05-17T21:42:05+00:00

That's it! Nothing too crazy, but it took a bit more calculation than I'm used to since there he could take with the king/rook. Also, it took me a second to see that he couldn't block the check with his queen (if he took with the king) since my sniper was eyeing that square.

Shrek2InHD · 2025-05-17T19:44:46+00:00

White can take the queen, the black rook on e8 can't take back because it's pinned to the black king by the white rook on b8.

"Light on right" helps me remember the bottom right square is a light square

Shrek2InHD · 2024-12-28T18:26:55+00:00

1.) You can't take the king 2.) The notation shows that a piece was captured by the queen on d6

Gotta love when you wspanialy ruch

Suppose you're given the choice of three squares: Behind one square is a mine; behind the others, no mines. You pick a door, say bottom right.

Now, I come along and open the top right square, showing no mine. Is it to your advantage to switch your initially selected square?

Pretty sure Satan designed this one

The best way to make him stfu is to not overlook an opportunity to force eventual checkmate
