Not sure I would have seen it. I don’t play much anymore.

I’m an idiot, but why doesn’t the black rook at F7 take the white knight at E7? I don’t see where that move leaves black vulnerable?

Yeah, the black queen is then exposed by the rook moving to F1, but there are escapes…

2D chess is so 2015. We're in a new era now.

RxE7 is forced. Then white moves his rook to D8. That forces KxD8. Then white rook goes to B8 which is check and mate.
White reigns supreme. -

This wasn’t obvious to me at all at first. But it’s mate in 2 or 3.

Hmmm,
Black castle takes white queen
Ahhh, then white horse moves to F7, correct?

I am sure there are millions of chess positions that have non-obvious best moves. I'm not sure we need to make threads about them, but I don't judge. I never judge.

Also, King takes Queen, Bxh7 check, K-h8, N-g6 checkmate, which is very nice.

They're all non-obvious if you're shit at chess.

Gratuitous posts about how fascinating a chess position is, might serve certain purposes other than to have interesting conversation about how fascinating a chess position is. But I don't judge. I like threads that are unambiguously about having interesting conversations, or at least the potential for them.

Thats me!!!
I have the Magnus Carlson app on my phone and one of the options is to play against him at various ages.
I think he beats me when he turns 7 years old. LOL

I bought a bobby fisher biography many decades ago and it had a bunch of his games in an appendix. I would play them out on a chess board, to see genius in action. But I wasn't good enough at chess to appreciate any of the genius.

In my twenties, I used to play for my town's chess club and read books about it and everything, and I regularly got beat by a kid who was about 10 years old. Of course, he didn't look so clever when I punched him in the face.

I doubt anyone here would make it past 9 or 10. He was a grandmaster at 13.

I think this site is racist. White is always beating black.
