Helloo! friends
Once there was a time, I would spend the entire night before the chess board. It made my brains sharp. Thnigs are changed now. Chess was always been a favourite pastime for me before I start hiving. It's been a couple of years, I hardly play it. Recently I visit a friend's house. Once he was my chess partner. So, obviously, we spend time playing chess.

Because of long halt, I think, my brains got oxidised and there has been a layer of rust over it. While I was playing with him , I can't even see simple basic tricks. Lol ! it really hurts. More over I had a college title! It's time for my brains to get polised and shone.

I don't have experience of playing online games. I used to play on hard board. All the pictures I am going to share will be from my uncle's chess board. My uncle is the only person that helped me learn about chess and I got skill after playing for long years with him in my childhood. No more ado or self praise.
Today, I wanna show you an expectacullar move. May be you can find it or you already know it or may not be! Check the situation on the board: White is limping with low strenght while on the other hand ,black looks strong. It is obviously a win for black. But Now it is time for white to move his piece and let's make him win.
I think have tried to make black win. Congratulation!! if you find moves for black to win. You haven't find those moves let's check them now. But before that let me stated the status once again:
Black : Three Pawns, two Rooks , the Queen and the King.
White: Three Pawns, a Kinght , the Queen and the King.
Time for white to move:
1️⃣ White Knight goes to B7. It's a both way check for black.
Black has no choice but his King to move his right.
2️⃣ Now , White's move is unexpected. White Queen goes to C8! Lol he sacrifies his Queen. Yeah this is the move people fail to see.🙈
Black has nothing to do or nowhere to go but taking white Queen down with his free Rook only. He does it happliy thinking a big win !! Let's see what happen then
3️⃣ White Knight smartly goes to D7 !! That's it.
Black King has nowhere to go and it's a check mate!!
From this black takes a lesson that from now he will never forget move pawns from both sides and will try to open all of the pieces sp that they can freely move.
Yeah surely if a pawn infront of black King would be a step forward, it would never be a lose for him.
All the pictures used here are cpatured by me.
Thank you so much for visiting.
Have a good day.

My dad taught me to play chess, but somehow my interest never stuck. Probably because none of my friends played. It looks like you haven't lost your skill for the game!

Yeah need an enviornment to have interest.
For me there were beautiful one.Though I hardly play it now but things are not completely forgotten; need to polish once again.

👌👌 What a move th bro!! I was trying it before going to the solution but failed.😅
Yeah it's a good movie. None is willing to sacrifice queen but here if you need to win sacrifising her is a must.
Btw when are you going to write next post?
It's a nice game. I am also learning to play chess online specifically at chess.com, I know how to play but still need more to learn about opening and strategy.
Lol, I always lose because of this, so I also move pieces around the king.
Chess exercises your brains and it increases our thinking power. I do not like craming and whatever I learn or wanna learn, I try to find logic behind. I think playing chess from early age has a strong impact on my thoughts.
To learn tricks , it need a lot of practise. One more thing is that playing on real board and on a virtual board are two different experience. My skill decreases while I play online. It seems I can't see pieces. Try playing on hard real board; you will have different feeling and better understanding.
Thanks man for stoping by. Have a good day.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah I've tried playing actual game and it is confusing hahaha need more practice.
Very nice!
I used to play a lot when I was a kid and even participate in regional competitions, I haven't played for a long time. Thanks for making me up,maybe I should start again :)
The same goes for me; I used to spend days and night playing it. But as time advances sharing time with it, reduces. Now I hardly play it.
We should keep playing chess to exercise our brains in a better way.
Thanks man for visiting. Have a nice day
One of my favorites mate, the smothered mate. Beautiful chess board as well. I have a smaller board but don't have anyone to play with on that board that's why I play online only.
Btw, King can move to his left (KD8) as well...no? That's a checkmate on the next move but he has a choice...lol
Yeah right black has two moves! But if he moves to left, It's a check mate!! I have a few people to play against. Btw my uncle made the board when I was a kid and I helped him with the tools..
A complicated game, I have never understood :-)
Yeah It was very complicated for me aslo. It took time to know about the pieces and then regular practise help me grab the entire staff. Enviornment make me learn game play.
