Very cool.
The ultimate swindle
Sort:
That's amazing. Well done.
The closest I had to a swindle was during a game when I was entirely lost, and I offered my queen for my opponent's queen in order to get back rank checkmate when we were both low on time.

I swindled my opponent once when i was a rook down, we both had like 3 secs left and i "blundered" a pawn for back rank checkmate
Ahhh I love these back rank checkmates.
Yeah even my swindle here involved a kind of back rank checkmate. This is the easiest way to recover from a lost position imo.
This is a position I found myself in in a blitz game against an opponent rated above 2000 (I'm white):
My position is completely bust. I just got royal forked and I'm about to lose my queen.
Even worse: my opponent has about 3 mins left on the clock and I had 1 minute. So there's effectively zero chance that I flag him.
I should probably just resign, right?
Well... here comes the ultimate swindle:
