When I first saw the title, I thought it was joke, kind of "I was amputated of both hands and now I cannot do push-ups anymore, why ?". I was disappointed.

i have seen people we started chess about the same time mated with a bishop,knight,the king and a pawn(the pawn did not get promoted),though his opponent had two bishops and the king only on the board.what do you have to say about that?

Those mates can be done, but they're difficult.  If you look at "computer workout" under the "learn" menu, you'll see some of those available to practice.

Stop playing blitz. Not good for education if you want to improve.

Every time you look at a position, do an UPS check.

UPS means Unprotected Piece Scan. Look for all pieces which are not defended, or attacked by a pawn. Also for pieces which are attacked more times than it is defended.

If you alarm blinks (one of the 3 things above is happening) try to defend. Also of course notice your opponents pieces, and see if you can make a DOUBLE ATTACK or something like that.

How do i do the UPS thingy?

wow thats a fantastic winning...i solved the puzzle without stress.but what if the queen as been lost earlier before this position?

If there was no hope for Anderssen (white), then probably the game would have ended much earlier, as the two players were chess masters at their era.

Heh, nice puzzle. I'd be happy with this win too.

I don't know anything about Kieseritzy, but it didn't look like he played like a high rated player even though he's up two rooks at the beginning of this puzzle.

I have the complete diagram of the game for you below. The earlier puzzle might give you a biased view on how he played, but the reason why Kieseritzky lost was greedy play.

Black was way ahead in material, but he wanted more. Instead of defending his king, he rather ate both white's undeveloped rooks. 19. e5 blocks black's queen from defending her king, and black does not have enough resources to attack white king. Not to mention all other black's minor and major pieces are still undeveloped, on the contrary to white's active minor pieces and queen.

That it is not likely to happen if you blunder huge amounts of material.

Of course, there are some position where giving up material (sacrificing) gives a winning attack, but that's not the norm.

Next time try tightening your queen and rooks.

Indeed, if when a beginner you look at too many Morphy and Lasker games, you could easily be persuaded that getting rid of your queen for some lesser piece as soon as possible is a winning strategy.

@Secretof Mana - Thanks for posting the entire game. It was well played by white. I wonder how early did white plan it? It was obvious he planned it by as early as move 18. (Bd6.)

i never got a chance to take advantage of her moving a piece twice

Yes, that is the difference between her gaining material advantage with the exchanges and her moving a piece twice. It's not really that bad if you can't take advantage of it.
