Swindle!

Well, I'm badly losing this ending against a 1900+, so I tried:

Well, you are surely not losing, and hes surely a little over-rated!

Anyway, good puzzle!

What about Rxe3 followed by Rxe1+ for two rooks vs queen?

ahahah i like this.  I've done a bit of reading on swindles.  if you're in a lost position, what do you have to lose?

check out some of marshall's swindles if you get a chance.

That was a good one, rooperi Emtofaan, I doubt if the opponent was over-rated. I think rooperi was wrongly under-rated by his opponent.

Yeah that's more like it, escaping that position was except if he did what LearnChess mentioned.

you'r position is the middlegame

 So the game ended in the middlegame?  What was it in the middle of then?

Love swindles! I know I wouldn't have fallen for that one though :-).

Rf8 would have saved black this embarassment.

My thoughts exactly.

check this one out.  i got completely outplayed, and so...

this is a really, really unsound swindle, but I though, "to hell with it, I'm going to lose anyway, I might as well lose quickly rather than slowly";

p.s. see move list for what should have happened.

# 12 play Bxh2+ if he takes the Bishop stalemate.
