[ZuluSam]

Sorry, for holding the tournament up... I need more practice.

No problem. So do I. lol. You paying premium prices for that vacation perk to be available for tournaments.... You will still get invites. Sign up and play anyway. I lose all the time. I really thought I had Oskie this time and lost my Queen to a dumb move....

Gotta move the rook,so you can make it a draw...

Looks like a potential draw but it's not...

H2xE5+ (Discovered) Check!

The White King's only move is G1 (the pawn on g2 can't take the rook because it's pinned by the Black Queen on C6).

E5-H2+ Check!

The White King's only move is H1.

H2-C7+ (Discovered) Check!

The White King is forced to G1 again.

C7xB6 This time Black Bishop captures the White Queen.

It's one of the toughest tactical puzzles I've seen on chess.com, difficulty rating over 2000.

I get what you're saying. Sometimes the first good move we see isn't always the best move.

[ansatsusha_gouki]

Will there be a fall tournament.....

 

[raze]

White's move and win

The knight travels to the other side of the board, comes back, and lands on A4?

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

Yeap,but travels to either A3 or H4,so it can be captured with the help of the king.

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

Anyone play the new four-player chess at chess.com.


It's kinda fun to play.

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

I've played about 15 games,it's fun but tricky ass fuck.


The knights are useless in this variant,it's all about the bishops and queens.

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

I'm ready for a fall tournament....

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

I finally got around to this,John gave Hutch that work...
