so many amazing moves for both players

Appreciate the kind words, you'll find many more like that in my library of immortal games, some are immortal because of how crazy the game is as a warning though.

Stockfish didn’t like my queen sacrifice but It worked.

I'm assuming you saw your passed pawns and thought you would be winning with the two rooks versus the queen and rook for your opponent. Looks difficult to defend against for black, that's for sure.

….This was actually a long time ago and I hung my queen… I just call it a queen sacrifice because I made it look like I planned it.

This game was a good positional game. I hope this thread will get more people on it.

Why'd your opponent resign? The position wasn't even that bad for him.

I think you guys are all pretty much rapid players right ? Do you prefer a specific time during the week two play it ? Because I play pretty much every time control from 1|0 to 10|0, and I feel like I play rapid way worse during the week than in week-ends, but I prefer playing blitz or bullet during the week. What about you? Does the moment you play actually impact your results ?

Yes I'm a rapid player. I usually play like 1 or 2 10|0 games a day and sometimes even throw in a couple blitz/bullet games if I'm feeling good and other times I might skip a day or two. I rarely play bullet these days though.

10|0 most of the time, that is my main time control

None of their pawns or their bishop or their rook defending the pawn could move. They would just have to make filler moves like sliding the open rook around or moving their king in the few spaces it had while I developed an attack

I don't know, why I play like stockfish against bots and play like a noob against real players, instead I get 90 + accuracy against bots and 60 or 70 accuracy against real players

App

If you go to home there should be a play button and if you click on the time control it should give you an option to change it.
