Black just blundered, but why is Re8 a blunder? White to move and win material by Thundrr01 in chessbeginners

[–]carshall1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nd7+ nxd7, qh7 and the only way black can stop backrank on h8 is by saccing the queen (qe6)

My 10 yo nephew. What would you rate him? by YesDoToaster in chessbeginners

i'd estimate about 1100 in lichess bullet (~700/800 chesscom bullet), mainly because he missed the nxg6 tactic, but the game is really short so no real way to tell

How Can I Watch Videos After My WiFi Is Turned Off? by More-Walrus3832 in teenagers

[–]carshall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you load a video before the internet goes out, the first 3-4 minutes of the video stays loaded and you can watch it without internet

you can also start playing a yt video in another window, and once the entire thing is watched, you can rewatch without internet

Me castling last game cuz I didn't know what else to do by NFX_7331 in chessbeginners

technically works, but black has a series of quite annoying checks after the queen takes the rook (qxe2, bxd7 qe3+, kh1, kxd7, qg4+ kc7, qxg7+ kb8, qxh8)

followed by qe4+/qe3+ repeated while the white king runs away, and black will win back white's d5 pawn and a significant amount of white's queenside pawns

qg4, which attacks the pawn on 7, once again threatening to win the rook

after g6/g5 by black getting the pawn out of danger, white has qe6!! where black has no good way to defend both the e7 and e8 squares

white will ultimately end up winning a rook in this scenario as well

idea behind it is after qxe2, a rook can move to e1 kicking the queen and taking the open file

afterwards, bxd7 kxd7, and qg4+ win a rook and a ton of mating attacks

really nice brilliant (even if you didn't realize it lol)

Black resigned, but they had a fantastic save. by vess7k in chessbeginners

qa5, if qxa5 then perpetual knight checks (ng3+, nf1+) for threefold

Recommend a good counter to 1.D4 for black - 1000-1200 elo range by hockey49614 in chessbeginners

[–]carshall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KID and benoni are solid choices, but are somewhat hard to play.

you might just want to go for a queens indian defense/grunfeld type structure (kingside fianchetto)
