Rook sac for checkmate! I calculated it perfectly and my God that was satisfying!

 

Taking my time helped and I feel like I did better adhering to principles tonight. Long way to go to reach 1000 but I feel really good after tonight.

 

Thanks to everyone who reached out with great advice. Y'all the real Gs in this community for sure. 🙏🙏🙏

 

Definitely thoughts and opinions on tactics or threats etc that I may have missed are welcome. I am really proud of this one though.

Well played. Great tactical vision with that rook sac.

Wow. Just realized I could have taken his Queen on move 12. 🤦🤦🤦

Nice calculation for the rook sac and good luck on getting to 1000, you are climbing the rating ladder really fast.

Are you really 900? Nice rook sack. Just to find that their might be one is an accomplishment, and it working out is even better.

I had to chuckle at myself when you said you didn’t realize you could have taken the Queen.

Don’t worry, I didn’t either.

Good! You're starting to understand how easy it is to bust a queenside castle if the opponent blunders just 1 piece.

GG nicely played.

Congrats on finding the rook sac! If you minimize your blunders and exploit your opponent's hanging pieces, you should be climbing up the ranks in no time happy.png

Nice job noticing that his knight was trapped, and even better the pretty rook sac.

Nice combination indeed!

Long way to 1000? Depends what you consider long. I’d say focus 100% on free pieces (your opponents and yours) and you are 1200+ in a few weeks.

Not taking a free queen is not ok :-).

Beautiful game.
