DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Very true... I think even Qf2+ and swapping Queens probably wins. That's what I rejected and played Bf4 instead. Very frustrating.I initially looked at the Qf2+ route and swapping off Queens - it was certainly my first instinct. On further analysis I realised that there was no way for White to Queen his pawn without losing both the Queen and the pawn. Bishop on the opposite colour as the Queening square is the key thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Division A Board_stupid defeats AH13STU by resignation. This felt like a fairly even game throughout, in fact the analysis had me down slightly, but one mistake left AH13STU with his king and queen under threat and unable to defend them both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed u had seen the mate threat and were going to move your Knight to the other square and we would've slugged it out for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In control after 26 moves, then inexplicably I surrendered a well-placed Bishop for nothing and just watched as my position crumbled. Closest I've ever been to rage-quitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Pleslie999 beats paakman01 by resignation. Felt I played pretty well, my opponent played an opening I didn't know but i managed to get the upper hand. Having both my bishops lined up on his castled King side was pretty strong and eventually managed to get the win! Cheers for the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Division CXCTR94 beats Markf268 by checkmate.Unfortunate pawn structure and opening from Mark gave me the checkmate from quite early on, little he could do as his king was boxed in and I had a bishop/queen trap lined up from quite early on. Had my rook on the last file to secure the Queen checkmate. Well played buddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Division CXCTR94 beats the_kid1433 by resignation.A fucking WILD game of chess; probably the lowest accuracy I’ve had in day chess for…a few years. I was essentially having to target pawns only as The_Kid had gobbled a bishop and a knight of mine early on and my only route to checkmate was the h-file rook and Queen doing something. My opponent made a mistake in pulling his king into the corner square with only a pawn protecting him on that side so my rook and Queen could corner him. I would have kept going as you still have a bishop and a knight but could understand the frustration at that point as you played great. 50% accuracy on my part in daily chess is hilarious.
