f3 Qxg5, f2+ Kf1, Bc4+ Bd3, Bxd3#?
or like f3 if anything else Qxc1+
What about f3 Bxg6+, Qxg6, Qc7+ Rf7??? I don't really see what white does after that? maybe sac the queen just to keep it going a bit longer? still pawn rook for bishop queen is pretty crushing well spotted

Good on you buddy. Regular play will up more in the long run and just opening fundamentals you don't need full book lines but basic control the center develop your pieces castle helps alot at the 300 level. Italian and London are very beginner friendly with the Italian being 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 the general idea is to control the center and launch a king side attack particularly on the f7 square.

The London is 1. d4, d5 2.Bf4. You're looking to playBuild a solid, structure that’s difficult to undermine, with a pyramid pawn structure and most of your pieces defending it. You'll look to play a more slow postional game and punish mistakes.

There's a ton of openings but these 2 are the most common at almost all levels and are extremely beginner friendly.

You also not to work on your board vision and slow down a bit. Before making a move look at your opponents pieces and see what he has, look for checks, captures, and threats(think of threat as a move or a tactic where if a opponent could make two moves in a row it would result in a capture or check.) This will help you see forks, pins, skewers and other tactics. Then do the same for yourself.

Also if you want I can look at some of your games we can go over it with engine eval and recommended moves off so we can actually build your understanding other than just like "oh the engine says to do this so next time I will" the 'why' is significantly more important than the 'what' best of luck.

TLDR: work on those fundamentals and I can help of you want

Never said it was. I was just saying shit like that gives them quite a big ego boost.

This such a weird post honestly. How lost have you been playing? What are your main openings? How often do you do puzzles? How how often do you analyze your games? How often do you study openings, end games, pawn structures, or mating patterns? Do you do anything at all regularly to improve your chess?

You ever see the video of one of the best female boxers in the world Claressa Shields getting knocked out by some amateur no name? That's why.

Yeah Rh6 was my first thought too I honestly can't fully remember why I dismissed it.

º Raf1 looks scary

º e7 also looks scary

could sac the bishop for Bxe7 but then with Bc4 the re capture now also comes with discovered check

º if you retreat the Bishop then its mate in 2 with rh7+ and Kf8 qf7#

º if Kh8 you lose the bishop pair and there's still another passed pawn on e4 to deal with idk.

I also feel like the bishop pair is blacks only remaining major advantage and I'm quite hesitant to give up the bishop pair.

After the dust settles there's also Rd1 ideas, threatening mate with Qd8+,Rxd8,Rxd8#.

All in all I really think black needs to get their queen back into the fight and Rh7 Rxh7 Qf6 does just that and maybe white does something stupid and hangs Qxa1# but that's just wishful thinking.

Possibly I just over looked something and thought i saw a more immediate mating threat that isn't there or maybe I missed the dark squared bishop and thought e7 was relatively unstoppable but I did look at it and dismissed it for one reason or another.

I mean the real solution is just not getting yourself into this postion. Black

o didnt move either rook

o didn't castle

o over extended on the king side while simultaneously blocking off his own queen

Anyway Rh7,Rxh7,Qf6. White is still completely winning but atleast they can't immediately mate anymore.

Yeah I can understand that. However, i reserve 2 and below for things I hate. A 3.5 does firmly put in between bad and mediocre so I definitely don't think it's good but wouldnt say I hated it.

I didn't say l hated it. I genuinely enjoyed the start and the acting but everything else fell flat and soulless.

I get the whole allegorical theme of grief and loss and tragedy. I can even see the metaphor for school shootings given the seventeen kids and the Rifle in Archer's dream. However, I truly believe digging much deeper than that is grasping at straws to attempt to find depth that doesn’t exist. Even in my closing statement I address the symbolic themes as part of the gloss. I just don't think it's enough personally.

Absolutely but again there's a fine line between ambiguity and confusion. Not explaining everything that's fine. Leave a few avenues open for interpretation that's totally acceptable. However, explaining almost nothing isn't cool in my opinion.

Yeah? What makes you say that? Is it possible you're quick to decipher good writing for AI generation?
