@Moekillz’s Rollercoaster Week: Sweeps and Stumbles in Key Matches
With the September 21–27, 2025, Player of the Week race hitting midweek stride, @Moekillz
continues his relentless push, blending a dominant sweep in the Team USA Northeast ACTIVE vs. Let’s Castle match with a tough loss in the 30 Members! showdown against International Star Chess club. These daily games on Chess.com highlight the “Dominican assassin” at both his sharpest and most vulnerable, updating his weekly tally to 5-3-0 and fueling Let’s Castle’s team efforts amid the @Ydtd
-led Player of the Year chase.
Game 1: Queen’s Pawn Chigorin Sweep (vs. @Cesso91, Ended September 23)
In the rematch on Board 3 (1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bf4 c5), @Moekillz flipped the script as white, punishing @Cesso91’s early 4… Qa5+
—a great find—with a resilient 5. Nc3
retreat. @Cesso91’s 5… Ne4 mistake opened the door, and after 6… Nxc3 exchanges, @Moekillz grabbed the pawn with 8. dxc5.
The turning point? 16… d4
was a fatal blunder, allowing 17. exd4
and central control. By 21. Bxf6,
@Cesso91 resigned in a shattered position, securing a 2-0 sweep for @Moekillz and a 2-0 team lead.
This win nets Let’s Castle momentum, with @eledef07
and @J_Santiago
anchoring the boards.
Game 2: Queen’s Pawn Heartbreaker (vs. @19Gennady60, Ended September 24)
Shifting to the 30 Members! match (1. d4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3. e4 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5), @Moekillz’s aggressive knight sortie with 5. Ng3 pressured early, but @19Gennady60’s 6… Nd7 mistake was countered by @Moekillz’s 7. Bf4 development. Inaccuracies piled up—@Moekillz’s 8. Ne4 retreat and 15. dxe5 gave @19Gennady60 counterplay. The turning point, 22. c4
blunder exposed the king. @19Gennady60 delivered the hammer with 22… Qxh2#
, a checkmating queen sac that ended the game abruptly, handing International Star a 1-0 edge
in the 1-player clash.
@Moekillz’s 5-3 week, blending tactical brilliance (like that Nxf5 fork) with hard lessons in precision, keeps him atop the weekly contenders. With @Eledef07’s timeouts and @J_Santiago’s steady grind, Let’s Castle thrives in team play. As Shocktober
looms, @Moekillz’s fire could snag Player of the Week—stay lethal!
