Alright... its my turn to check!
Qa8+
Wouldn’t say it was the $150 you bribed the AI with, since it isn’t actually influenced by bribery. But it’s kinda crazy that the game turned around for you when you started bribing it.

@SuryaVS played Qxd2, officially winning the White King, and the game. @CunioXYZ, the one that has taken the Kings of many innocent chess souls, has finally been slain. (And I have finally been avenged for my loss in Dark Forest Chess.)
Honestly, I don’t know which AI performed worse in this variant. Based off of how it usually plays, the AI actually played pretty well this time around! At a certain point during the game, it looked just about over for @SuryaVS, but while they were never up material, they made a comeback and won the game with the brilliant strategy of letting the opponent’s AI sacrifice the King twice in a row.
Hopefully this variant was fun for y’all! I really enjoyed running it! Maybe we can do another match someday! I already have one person, @just_an_average_player136, in line for the next match, if there is one.
Good game, you two! Thanks for being such good sports!
@SuryaVS, in addition to playing their move, is also further bribing the AI with $50 (not real money.) It won’t do anything, but it is fun to believe.
It is still @CunioXYZ’s turn, by the way.
