Game Changer
This is the semifinal game in the B division between P-Dawg and robustdust. Robustdust has dominated the early game and has an 11- point advantage and it is blacks move. While there is a forced mate in 8 from this position for robust dust, we are going to focus on P-Dawgs queen. Can you find the move to guarantee you win P-dawgs queen and obtain an insurmountable advantage?
Answer:
Correct, blacks Knight needs to play check on d5. White only has two options now, either trade the queen for the knight or black will take the queen with their rook on the next turn. Robust dust put her queen on h8 which led to a series of blunders where she lost her 11 point advantage and then ultimately lost on time.
