Hi Chess.com Team and community,

I recently played a live **10|0 rapid game** where I (White) delivered **17 legal consecutive checks** from **Move 24 to Move 40** — all uninterrupted and verified.

🔗 **Game Link**: https://www.chess.com/game/live/140474589452 https://www.chess.com/game/live/140474589452

🧠 Here's the full streak of check moves (White only):
24. Qh5+
25. Qh6+
26. Qf8+
27. Nxd4+
28. Qf5+
29. Nb5+
30. c4+
31. Qe4+
32. Qxb7+
33. Nd4+
34. Qa6+
35. Qxa7+
36. Nf5+
37. Nxg3+ (discovered check)
38. Qe3+
39. Ne4+
40. Qg3+

The streak was confirmed with PGN review. To my knowledge, no known live rapid game has more than 6–8 consecutive checks. This seems to be a new record in online or over-the-board play.

I'd love for Chess.com moderators or staff to take a look and confirm if this can be officially acknowledged!

Thanks!
