I started playing some online chess recently. As a terrible chess player I was slaughtered in game after game, expectedly! The harder the challenge the more the allure.

One of my few wins was interesting (image above). I played as the white side and at this point in the game I had lost both my rooks and the opponent had a stronger piece lineup.

My strategy was to advance my Pawn from D6 to D7 and then the plan was to move my Bishop from F1 to H3, combining an attack together with my Queen placed at A4, toward his King. I was ready to sacrifice a few more pieces if nessary.

The idea played out well, perhaps due to my opponent being at a similar level as myself. I threatened his King and managed to take out both of his two Rooks, after which I could decimate his pieces step by step, with a couple of losses on my side.

This was a game that I thought I was on the verge of losing and it was stimulating to execute a comeback.

I didn't see any chess discussions here on Nostr, so here's an absolute noob posting, hoping to see interesting chess content from more advanced players.

Cheers!
