Discovered Check Blocks The Mate and Wins the Queen

Also features 2 centralized Bishops immune to attack by pawns.  I have made comments - please let me know what you think!

hold on, where did the game go? ....

sorry - now the game is posted.  Operator error....anyway - tell me what you think, please!

After 8...Nxd4, Black would be winning...big time.

cobra91 - 9. Nxd4 evens material.  How does that make black win?

Black's rook is no longer threatened after 9 Nxd4... allowing him to play 9... dxc4.

got it, wins the Bishop at the cost of a pawn (10. dxc4) right?

It's clear:

The check, in the process of discovering itself, is simultaneously instigating the blockage of the piece which would, unblocked by said check which is being discovered, induce a state of checkmate to this particular game, with a negative result for the OP, and the which of, in the same temporal plane, is inflicting on the opposing player's queen an attack, which, by virtue of the aforementioned check, that which is being discovered by the blocking of the potentially checkmating piece, is patently indefensible.

QED.

ok, how long did it take you to come up with that? I'm impressed, but still...

tonydal, look at 14. Bf4+

ivandh - what does QED mean?

tonydal:

1 - what is an NM?  (something Master, but what is the N?)

2 - I missed my Knight on f3, so you are correct, it wouldn't have been mate.  Sorry - I am not an (anything at all) Master, just a beginning student of the game. I wasn't aiming for sensationalism....

tonydal, do you think Black missed my f3 Knight, too?  What else was reason behind 13...Qd6?

thanks tonydal.  If you don't mind, please take a look at my comments on 21...Ke8.  What do you think?

Nice game, well played and well annotated. I just wonder if your opponent is at your level (1100+) or below 1000. Anyway nice one dude. Keep it up.

He lied. It really means Ninja Master (but its a secret so don't tell nobody ok?)

this WAS a bullet game right? i seem to notice a couple (20 or so) "errors" 21.Rd8 isnt even mate

^ 21 Rd8 is mate. The rook is pinned.

4.d4 is good to control the center.
