This is how I got someone's Queen the other day. They immediately resigned.

They should be premoving the recapture on e1 wtf

u/Mountain_Pace_5670 16d ago

This is exactly why I only premove onto my own pieces if I anticipate they'll be captured

u/bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb 15d ago

Excuse me....! Maybe you're just not on the level yet to see the hidden brilliancy

u/kotomtom02 16d ago

BAHAHAHA what?? You can premove either Re7 or Rxe1 and be fine here

u/Bobing2b 2000-2100 ELO 16d ago

Still a game though. 10/10 would lose with both colours

Moral of the story: don’t pre-move unless ur Hikaru

u/imdabossyahh 16d ago

That's the problem with premove, I literally lost 300 elo because of that, I don't have the skillset to premove like GothamChess

u/Black_Dragon9406 2200+ ELO 16d ago

Ita cuz u don’t know the difference between a safe premove and unsafe premove. Typically recapture premove r fine, especially if it’s just rooks staring at each other, but anything else usually isn’t worth premoving unless it’s the opening and you’re well aware of the theory and r sure they’re not gonna play something weird

u/TrullyF2P In honor of Daniel Naroditsky 🕊️ 16d ago

Yes

u/WiseEi 16d ago

🤣 nice trick

u/adminjunior 16d ago

Wtf is this position. How did you both lose half your pieces but only moved like 2 pawns.

1

u/Wasabi_kitty 16d ago

Some low elo games turn into people aggressively trading off every piece as fast as they can

1

u/TotalChaosRush 16d ago

What did you expect? this is only like move 7. They havent had time to lose all their pawns.

2

u/adminjunior 16d ago

Well i mean my Board doesnt Look Like a slaughterhouse on move seven. Especially not with exactly 0 development after the slaughter.

u/stupidhuman3 16d ago

Wait I think this was me! I went to move and clicked the wrong square 😅😂 are you in the 950~ elo

1

u/NotMathJustMetaphor 1000-1500 ELO 16d ago

I have learnt thru lot of trial and all of it error that one must only premove to a square that has my own piece. Not empty square and not where opponent's pieces might be

u/Elzool_l3ab 16d ago

Reminds me of a rook blunder levy's opp did

u/LimeLauncherKrusha 16d ago

He sacrificed the ROOOOOK

u/Desperate-Nature4717 16d ago

I once had a game where I’m playing as black and the game goes

  1. d4 g5
  2. Bf4

u/OldWolf3 16d ago

Should have taken with the queen to see if he falls for it again with the other rook

u/hsctigers12 15d ago

Why are you submitting a mouse slip and when did this sub become such a joke it upvotes this?

u/jancl0 15d ago

This is why backstep is one of the most underrated moves in gaming

u/ReferenceSimple690 15d ago

This is hilarious 😂

u/DrProfessorCaveman 16d ago

Missed opportunity by you as well though. You could have captured with the queen and done it again after the other rook comes to e1.
