A game I just finished with a new friendly opponent "chessmanjam". After move 25 I was trying to find myself a checkmate with my knight and two bishops, but just couldn't spot one! This lead to my opponent's imminant checkmate that I naively forgot about. Your thoughts, please!
22. Bxc5+! and you can take the Q.
I couldn't find a checkmate with the knight and bishops too. Maybe Rd2+ was better, involving the rook instead of the knight. After his Re2, you can get your knight to check. But I don't know how that would've gone
Ah, you're right! Why didn't I see that!
@KingOfTheCastle - Very true, I regretted that move straight after I made it, but ofc, t'was too late.
I basically agree with the above, but white had a 16)BxBf8 if:
16...d2
17)BxQ with check
if:
16)... Bg2+ 17)Kf2 and of course if
16)... QxBf8 17)RxBe4+ wins the queen
Lol lucky for me that my opponent never spotted any of those, even though I stupidly lost my queen in the end.
12. Nxf3 Qe2+ 13. Kg1 Qxf3
There is a mate at move 21... Qh4+
Well.... the Mate possibility was way beyond my foresight capacity!!! ACTUALY I WAS TOO BLIND TO SEE THAT D PAWN PROTECTING THE QUEEN IN 13th MOVE!!!
Man.... i'v got to improve my chess urgently!
when your opponen played 5. Qh5 he/she set up old trap, which usually have played in the start, like this:
1. e4 e5
2. Qh5 g6!
3. Qxe5+ Winning a rook in the corner.
That start is better to learn. Usually Qh5 is weak because then black plays first Nc6 and the Nf6 attacking white Queen with tempo, but in this case it would not work because of mate in f7, so your best moe would have been Qe7, which you played one move too late.
