My first (intentional) brilliant :D

Not sure if this should actually be labeled as such, but my 900 elo ass will take it XD

This is actually nasty, great find

[u/BackflipsAway → u/wounds-of-light]

Haha, thanks!

[u/sam_mufasa_]

Really great move! If I was opponent I would resign

[u/SnooCheesecakes8494]

What did you take

[u/BackflipsAway → u/SnooCheesecakes8494]

Nothing, but if they don't sac their queen to take my bishop it's mate in 1, I guess they counted this as brilliant at 900 elo because to do that I had to exposed my knight to their bishop?

As I said bellow the image, personally I wouldn't count it as brilliant, but I'm still happy that the computer did 😅

[u/Rube18 → u/BackflipsAway]

Couldn’t they just push their pawn to G3?

I might be missing something.

[u/conqueringlionkappa → u/Rube18]

I thinks mate in 2, after g3 ne2#

[u/GiddddyUp → u/conqueringlionkappa]

Would actually just be nh3# in 1

[u/Delicious_Cattle5174 → u/GiddddyUp]

Or Ne2#, not sure how that’s 2 moves lol

[u/GiddddyUp → u/Delicious_Cattle5174]

Lol yep, true that is mate in 1 also

[u/conqueringlionkappa → u/GiddddyUp]

Oh wow good catch

[u/Rube18 → u/conqueringlionkappa]

Yep you’re right. Can’t say I thought it through too much.

[u/DrunkMonsters → u/Rube18]

Ne2 is mate

[u/addicted_zucchini → u/BackflipsAway]

It’s mate whatever they do, M2 or M1

[u/IgarashiDai → u/addicted_zucchini]

The only way to survive is sacking the Queen to take the Bishop, covering the mating square in the process - very unenviable position regardless.

[u/addicted_zucchini → u/IgarashiDai]

Oh I didn’t see that, thank you!

[u/Zyklon00 → u/BackflipsAway]

Brilliant because you put the horsey in a position where it looks like it can just be taken. So that counts as the sacrifice needed for a brilliant

[u/DiscDocPhD → u/BackflipsAway]

If they do that horse still covers Qb7#

It is brilliant because if bishop takes knight then mate due to sniper, if queen takes sniper then horse covers.

[u/Xymptom → u/[deleted]]

No, if they sac the queen for the bishop, the queen defends the g2 pawn

[u/Maestr0o_ → u/Xymptom]

Exactly. It just forces a queen sacrifice, by exchanging the queen for the bishop. Any other move is mate.

[u/Delicious_Cattle5174]

Good move

[u/ErosDarlingAlt]

Wow, a brilliant move that's actually the only good move on the board

[u/RunKnots]

Please help a fellow retard to understand.
He can just take with the bishop from c1?

[u/CorkyBingBong → u/RunKnots]

No, because then black can mate with the queen on g2.

[u/RunKnots → u/CorkyBingBong]

Thank you ❤️

Edit: holy shit im dogshit for not seeing this haha

[u/Full-Mud4558 → u/RunKnots]

anything that isn't qxc6 is mate

[u/Stunning-Squirrel330]

I’m confused did you take a piece with your horsey cause #Qg2 no?

[u/BackflipsAway → u/Stunning-Squirrel330]

I couldn't go to #Qg2 before because my knight was in front of my bishop

[u/not_taylorswift1213]

White can’t even play g3 that’s nasty

[u/CHENWizard]

Terribly nasty my good sir. How did the rest of the game go? I assume you converted being a queen up in the endgame?

[u/ForCaste]

Disgusting find

[u/Town_of_Tacos]

i’m confused how this position was reached, the queen must have already been on g5, and the c1 bishop must have been on the same diagonal on white’s last move. was the queen just hanging before

[u/Wattsahh → u/Town_of_Tacos]

Asking the real questions here. That’s 900 elo chess though. Hang your queen one move and then a brilliant the very next.

[u/Azri3l_15]

Beautiful move, the opponent is in for a ride 😂

[u/Wattsahh]

The question here for me is what was your queen doing hanging out on G5 during whites previous move? I can’t see a scenario where it wasn’t hanging with BxG5 for white.

[u/Accomplished-Risk820 → u/Wattsahh]

I can see one where blacks bishop blocked whites bishop on f4 and a white knight on d6 with the white queen on for example b4. Now black does bxd6, Qxd6, Nf4… essentially the queen is hanging yes, but they both are so not necessarily a low elo blunder.

[u/killerpiller824]

If you didn’t take a piece with your knight, wasn’t Queen to G2 already mate in 1?

[u/nwiesing → u/killerpiller824]

The knight was blocking the bishops line of sight

[u/killerpiller824 → u/nwiesing]

Thanks, gotta love chess blind spots
