My Most Beautiful Unintentional Queen Sacrifice

[@zacherychapman8474]

You know those movies and TV shows with the stupid trope where two supposedly great players are playing chess, one player says "check!" looking smug, and then on the very next move, the opponent says "checkMATE!!", leaving the first player stupefied? Today, those movies are vindicated.

[@yahia1355]

that was such a cool mate in the face , he moved the king quickly thinking he is winning then booooom!!

[@thesilentmajority2765]

Both checking pieces are pinned to their king. I've never seen something like that.

[@Someone25948]

And either can't be captured because they're both checking! This is a chess lover's dream position

[@JoeARedHawk275]

White makes a discovered check but black blocks the discovered check with a knight, making another discovered check with both pieces now being pinned, but since it’s a double check and the king is trapped, it’s mate. One of the coolest checkmates I’ve ever seen

[@disguisedcat1750]

So sexy omg I hate how people start calling this kind of stuff weird names like ghost protection or ghost pin or ghost mate.. when its just them forgetting the point of chess.. you only mate when no matter what the opponent moves next turn you take the king, so a position like this explains it well.. no matter what white moves next, black can take the white king before losing their own.

[@benjaminwheeldon9853]

Seems like if a checking piece is pinned... Maybe that's a draw?

[@dqw4w9wgxcq32]

0:23 Man, to catch Eric Rosen in an opening trap is a pretty great accomplishment. Beating the master at his own game.

[@GreenOrochi89]

Someday, Eric will go from "I don't even Traxler, bro" to "Do you even Traxler, bro?"

[@Travellerz08]

That's actually the coolest line. Engine says white is winning massively if they play correctly, but only one move avoids forced mate.

[@isakzeljkovic]

This was a pin into a check into a discovered check into a double discovered hanging knight check mate.

[@chessmagician2024]

8:15 the only move to survive is ke1...except look at the engine evaluation. white is not just surviving, white is crushing black once he gets his king out of there. what a game though!

[@icycloud6823]

I was surprised when eric rosen didn't see what his opponent's plan was when they played that quiet pawn move. I recognized that plan as soon as I saw the queen and king align. Though that's maybe because I knew the title and was looking for queen blunders.

[@Freakschwimmer]

a double check mate by two absolutely pinned pieces? I've never seen that bevor. Beautiful! :D

[@ben1996123]

here's a funny fact about this line in the traxler that I discovered last year: after 8...Nd4 9.c3?? (most common move) Bg4 Qa5+ Nd7 Kxf2 Qh4+ Kf1, black has mate in 13. however, if d6 Qxd6 Nf7 Qe7 is inserted before white plays c3, the same line c3 Bg4 Qa5+ Nd7 Kxf2 Qh4+ Kf1 can be played, but now it's a draw. the reason is that the only winning move in the 9.c3 line is O-O-O, which is illegal now that the knight is on f7 instead of h8. (also, if you leave stockfish running for several hours, it says 5.Nxf7 is a draw with best play)

Engine used to say c3 was the best move (instead of d6), and after ...Bg4, Qa4+ Nd7 the evaluation shifted from +3 to 0 to -7, super weird behaviour by the stockfish. This line is brand new, apparently.
