oh... I REALLY made a 1750 lose his mind as a 1450 when he started trolling me about MY winning almost entirely through tactics and when I managed to capture not just ONE piece to a pinned pawn, but a SECOND ONE too with the same exact tactic... I was a bit proud of myself.
funny how a lot of players don't know about en passant or draws by 3 fold repetition
Pins and en passants with that mega queen pawn win me so many games.
Queen pawn is the strongest piece in the game.
In this game the opponent left his queen pinned, then made a blunder king move to trap it into a fork lol:

In that game it was the king pawn, whichever one reaches rank 5.
So many players fall for that pawn and bishop pin, but most will move their queen away.
Mega pin pin pin pin on the enemy king
