Double rook sacrifice to mate
Sort:
Hello everyone! I would like to share my first game at chess.com. All comments and suggestions are most welcome. I am glad that I was able to find the mating combination with double rook sacrifices. Please read and suggest wherever there is scope for better moves and whether the rook sacrifices were justified or not...
BTW, I will really appreciate if someone can analyze the game.
Hi CN. It was a good game, and it was also a very fast checkmate!. Now, I ask myself why blacks made the long castle instead of the short. The queen side was very exposed(the c column was open). The bishop was needed close to the king, but the temptation of taking the rook was to much for blacks. You be careful with the opponent moves, when the bishop took the root, your queen was exposed to be taken by the bishop, in the next move the king had to take the bishop, instead you move the root(it could wait without lossing your strategy) but blacks didn't see the queen either. Anyway you played well!
move 4 Ng5 creates more problems for Black. 6...Nxe4! wins a pawn.
Hi Chopra, Thanks for the comments. If you are referring to 17. ...Bxf1 leaving my queen attacked by the bishop I played 18. Rxb6+ because black has to first get out of the check and could not take my queen. My next move would be to mate with Qb7# as I played.
However I missed a forced mate ealier on. Rather than playing 17.Qa6 I should have played 17. Rxc7 threating the mate after 18.Qxa7.
