Yup, wonderful move.

Also, If anyone's down for a game, I'm free for a bit

Is that offer still open or have I missed my window of opportunity?

 

[Catzlaflame]

have I missed my window of opportunity?

nope, feel free to send

 

[GarrixianXD]

I got destroyed.

 

[DivineAura44]

I'm suddenly happy my wifi cut out!

 

[TheOrangeGuy09]

Take importance out of it, what do y'all think is the best chess move ever?

You mean, the best move I ever saw in the big chess? Here.

Absolutely beautiful tactic found during a blitz game, only 1 move that wins for black. If anyone wants to take a crack at it

 

[DivineAura44]

Maybe I'm tripping but isn't black still winning even if you lose the rook for a knight?

 

[Catzlaflame]

Ah, my bad, should’ve said the best move, cus yea, black wins regardless. Ndc3 is golden on so many levels tho.

Ndc5? Or Nec3? I'm assuming Ndc5 because it was the tactic I was looking at but what happens after the queen moves?

Ndc5, white queen moves out of the way then black queen takes on f7 to get black out of the fork

 

[DivineAura44]

I'm so horrible, I completely forgot that moving the knight clears a path for the queen.

Winning but it’s still playable (rook against bishop and knight), but after Ndc5 it’s a certain GG for Whites.

 

[Robo432343]

what is the move?

 

[Catzlaflame]

Ooh I think I got it,

Bxf7+, Kxf7
Rf1+, Kg8
Rf8+(!!), Kxf8
Qg7#

I thinkkkk

Would never see that in a game tho

 

[Catzlaflame]

Wait NO, smh, king cant take on f8 cus bishop, rook takes, no longer pinning the queen to the king, and thenn same mate. Yea that should be right.

 

[Homie890]

yeah im unfollowing this thread,too much brains for me.

En passant.

 

[DivineAura44]

Is the move that great? Nah. But it's from my game about 20 minutes ago so I figured I'd post it.

You are +4 in the 2nd best and 3rd best lines but this is a one minute bullet game so converting the position under time pressure might lead to slip ups. Find the only move that forces checkmate.

Immediately take my rook, I don’t need it sir (R:b6 and checkmate from either Rb8# or Qc7#)

 

[DivineAura44]

Yeah, my favorite part about this move isn't the immediate rook sac.
It's the one that comes along if you try to escape by moving your bishop to clear a path for the king.
Afrer Rxb6, Be6, Rb8+, Kd7, you play Qg5 which gives up the rook for the second time. Opponent responds with f6 (stalling move), Qxf6, Rxb8, Qe7+, Kc8, Qc7#.

Maybe looking at these brilliant moves helped because that's probably my best move of all time considering the fact I played it in 7 seconds.

 

[Catzlaflame]

In a bulllet game is quite Impressive indeed, good job! The fact that black let the dark-square B get there is Mind-Boggling tho lmfao. And moving b7 pawn after queenside castle smh.

 

[DivineAura44]

white to move and win
can you guys find it

I've seen this puzzle already and I'll just tell you RN no one is finding this. Literally grandmasters and computer engines couldn't.

What happens after Nxe3?

 

[Robo432343]

it is solved here

 

[Catzlaflame]

Not a very hard tactic to spot spontaneously, but it’s pretty fun imo. The position was like +2 for white initially (a staggering 4 past pawns ready to march down the a-d files and queen). Also, I was like 3 minutes down in the endgame lmfao. So yea, find the winning sequence :3

 

[CodeCCLL]

winning sequence

g6+, Rxg6, Re5+, afterwards, no matter where the white king move, take the rook and win.


Well, what is the worst move for the black knight?

 

[Catzlaflame]

Nxf2 walks right into Qf3 threatening capture of the knight and mate in 1 via Qa8#

 

[CodeCCLL]

Nxf2 walks right into Qf3 threatening capture of the knight and mate in 1 via Qa8#

In this case, there was only one good move to make with the black knight (Nc5, all other moves lose). To surprise you a little, I wanted you to find the worst move and the answer is Ng3 because there are many ways to hold mate after the move Nxf2 and it is even worse for black if the black knight does not take the pawn on f2.
