Today’s last day before my OTB tournament of this weekend was successful for me on chess.com in my blitz games! I played a game, had less than 1 minute. My opponent had 2 times more time than me! But he decided to play Queen x b2 (???) and lost with a beautiful checkmate in 3 moves!
This is now the position! As topic, I wrote “Elimination of the defense”, because the only piece that protects the castle of the black king is the queen, and it’s some advice for the first move, if Black wants to stop the checkmate, he needs to give the queen!
IMPORTANT: I cannot post the puzzles of Saturday and Sunday this week, because I have an OTB tournament. I am sincerely sorry, but we will continue on Monday with the P19
