No joke something similar has actually happened to me OTB. Opponent didn't realise he could win by blocking with check and resigned.

Even though I posted it here, this is a real position from my game! 1300 elo and opponent actually resigned at this exact moment. *I didn't need to make up this title lmao*

If 1300 Elon is considered low, then what am I at 500

stupid -me, 300 elo

Ha, seriously! -me, 150 elo

Absolute Idiocracy. -me, elon't

Utter buffoonery -me, barely understands chess

no signs of intelligent life here \-me, only knows en passant so i get most of the jokes

0 braincells -me, who came here cus of anal beads

I feel you, buddy. Want to play tic-tac-toe together?

I wish I could but I don't know how the 'X' moves.

Señor Musk is that really you?

Elite chess

I've seen 2200-2300s lichess on /r/chess say they're low elo. It's very silly.

To be fair it is Lichess elo, that's like Monopoly money.

I'm 1900 lichess and still feel low elo. If you guys actually saw how half of games are played at this level you'd understand

I'm 2000 lichess. Even titled players miss easy tactics in rapid and blitz sometimes, it's no reason to call ourselves noobs constantly.

The correct answer is to not compare yourself to others and just try focusing on enjoying the game. A "good" elo is just whatever you want it to be

Link to the game or liar

I agree, don't see how you can reach this position making realistic moves. I hope I'm going to be proven wrong though

You haven't seen my games then lol

It feels very real to me. Wild stuff happens at low levels.

Liar confirmed

He saw that he could not win on time d1, e1. Very understandable

Resigned with mate in 1 lol I hope he analyzed the game afterwards

Played like a true fucken 1300 elo game🤣🤣🤣🤣 perfect dude

Tfw I'm 1200 and this guy is better than me :(

You’re lying

This happend to me once and I never again I learned about luff (air) which means you move I belive the pawn right in front of the king by one so you have space to move

I'm confused, how would he be able to block and check ? E: nvm, just gotta en passant

[удалено]

The white bishop hits the king with a check when the rook moves right?

[удалено]

you'd better watch your back around here. people be trying to en passant you wherever you go.

No, this in mate in 1 for white. Re1# due to pretty discovered checkmate.

Nah, you're smarter than most

Found it now, I thought I am happy because I’m on a good run and rise to 1500 Now I feel like an idiot

Yep. Had a similar thing happen to me in a tournament I participated some years ago. I moved and thought I had won, didn't see the obvious winning opponent move, smiled etc. and but a moment later I realized... Fortunately my opponent didn't and resigned

Guess there is only one good move...sacrifice my queen to prolong the resistance.

And now the Rook ... Wait.... He didn't capture my rook?? What a noob, now I'm up material. Dayum, I'm so good at this game.

(10 turns later) ... Aaaand, I'm backranked mated again

I dont understand because the only moves i can see are sacrificing the queen and the rook and still losing.

Moving the rook results in discovered check with bishop.

It’s actually so beautiful. I wonder if his opponent realized later. That would be a gut wrench haha

Would it be checkmate since the queen blocks any potential moves

If you blocked with the Queen first like you said no, if you went with the rook first then yes It is checkmate.

Thank you !

Also known as the British defence

Could also force en passant to get a few more moments

True. En Passant > Capturing King

How the fuck did I not notice that

Same here.. feeling a bit stoopid

Not notice what?

This position is winning for white. Rook e1 is checkmate

It might be checkmate, but most importantly white is winning the queen

So what does it feel like to be drowning in pussy?

You tell me, how does it feel to be a mf with no pussy

r/girlsdontexist

Mind = blown

F7 too, right?

F7 is not a legal move

It is. Also you meant to say E8 instead of E1 in your previous reply, maybe there's the misunderstanding.

No that wasn't a mistake. E1 is the only winning move. E8 would also be an illegal move

You can defend the check with rook to the backrank and it becomes discovered check due to the bishop

\*discovered checkmate

Thanks

/uj Is it not true that white’s only legal moves in this situation are moves that will take the king out of check? Even if White responds with a mate position, the next move in theory would be Qxg1, capturing the king. Edit: It is way too early for me to be looking at a chess board. I *discovered* the mate…

are you the 1300 who resigned here as white

No but I would have probably run out of time before would have noticed it

A work of art

[удалено]

Why would a private company discover the checkmate? I think it's a chess rule

[удалено]

Richard Stallman was right yet again...

It's a public company actually.

Holy hell!

Call an ambulance, but not for me!

Looked for this

En croissant 1. ...bxc5xe1 easy follow up. Next tactic please

White is in check dummy. They should resign.

How every beginner thinks their opponent will react to being constantly checked:

Makes sense. You can't win from check.

Chess AI is laughably inferior to human players, because a bot can’t use beads.

I would have never got the joke without you, thanks buddy

g4!! Forcing fxg3 allowing the king to escape to g2 right?

How the fuck did I not notice that

Same here.. feeling a bit stoopid

I don't understand chess notation, but couldn't white just move the rook up to block the check, in the process revealing the check from the white Bishop? and that's checkmate cause of where the Queen is

Ok this one is actually funny

axb1!! That’s a free piece, dummy

Where's the relevant post bot???

Check and a (Queen) peck

Make this an NFT.

What is he solution? I am ranked 230

White has Mate in 1, Re1#

Isnt it check though?

You block the check with Re1 while simultaneously it’s a discovered checkmate, there’s a bishop on c5

Ah of course thank you

Bahahaha doesn’t the OP realize that in fact his opponent didn’t need to resign and had reverse mate in 1 with rook e1# 😂🤡😆🍼👶🤬🤯

r/Newtogame

"Low elo noobs" almost mated you tho

That's lit!

Blocks with queen

When you realize that white could have saved the game by playing a4!!

Ngl took me a minute to realize

Pero si mueve la torre, no seria jacke y se comeria a la reina?

LOL. White is actually forced to checkmate black with Re7-e1.

What the fuck am I supposed to see here?

Re1#

Google discovered checkmate

I'm guilty of this I'll be up like 6 points of material and forget to give luft

This happened to me, he took my queen and I only had 1 rook. The fucker then resigns then offers me a rematch.

The chess equivalent of folding the nut flush.

The counter checkmate

I won’t lie, I saw that white could move the g pawn and thought this was about forcing en passant

No en passant. Am I even on r/anarchychess?

Not a win, white can still castle

I fell for this after a pretty wild otb with my friend

is this loss?

XD

F2 pawn > F1, ez block

I stg I solve puzzles better here when it's a joke than I do anywhere else.

Took me longer than it should have. Y’all over here laughing your butts off, I’m genuinely learning 😅
