My Greatest Move?!

A fun, but simple one from just now:

Have fun calculating!

Cool status, @alphaous

Yesss! Finally, validation!

Ok, seriously though, where are all the 2000(+)'s? I expected there to be a ton more than just LGP.

Ya

He got a bear hug, but unwillingly so, lol.

I couldn't find the original game link, but I posted this game in another thread. I went on to win in beautiful positional fashion as Black, but me and my opponent both missed a crazy computer resource to save White's position. Can you find it?

I posted it on post #354, I think, of this thread:

I guess I'll post the answers with explanations soon.

For post 1, the answer is Rh7!! If Black takes the rook, then Qb6#. After bxc2+, Kc1!, cxd1=R+, Kxd1, Black does not have Qc2# because the queen is pinned, and Black will be mated soon.

The second solution for those who didn't solve it in their heads. And yes, I promised answers a month ago and only posted one, but we can ignore that.

1...cxd6 2. Qxc8#

But that queenless checkmate was even nicer!

I made a mistake while setting up the position. It's fixed now.

That is quite nice. It reminds me of a master game that I'll try to find. How long did it take you to find that?

Over a month later, I post another solution. I know, I'm very slow, but hopefully I'll speed up.
