White Sacrifices ALL of his Pieces! The Immortal Sacrifice Game

Conditional sentence type 3.

[@amoldivo]

You don't have to see the lines, you just need to see if it's winning!! Last week I had a game where I was down a piece, I "blundered" a piece, but it was actually M1 when he captured my "blundered" piece (I missed the M1 because the position was so packed in the middle and I thought I just blundered a piece lol while in fact my opponent shouldn't have taken that piece :/ ) anyway, when I was down a piece, I went to sacrifice my rook as well lol my opponent had a queen, 1 horsey and 2 rooks! But his position required him to give the queen for a pawn to avoid checkmate lol and I won that game after I went for M6 instead of M2 that I missed ;_; (again duh) well then again often times I go for fancier checkmates rather than the normal ones... Hmmm

[@kevinbyrne4538]

@@amoldivo -- Yes. We were learning to play chess, so we often played against each other. He was absurdly aggressive: Sometimes he would open by attacking me with his queen; then I'd trap and capture his queen. Other times, he'd make sacrifices that would fail. He was so determined to attack that he often forgot to castle -- with disastrous consequences. Finally he became frustrated, so he attacked me with a wall of pawns. I sacrificed a pawn to open a hole in his wall of pawns and then my pieces poured into his position behind his "wall". Most of his pieces were still sitting on their original squares and they were not protected. It was a slaughter.

Not in chess. If someone says theyre a piece ahead they usually mean a knight or bishop as it’s rare it’s anything bigger. If they’re up by a pawn, they say they are up by a pawn.

A lot of the downvotes probably come from idiots who object to the title, even though it's scrupulously exact as far as any experienced chess player would refer to "sacrificing all one's pieces" (i.e. not pawns, which are not pieces, and not the king, which is an impossibility).

this may be a stupid question but he repeated the move to reach time control...what is time control?

[@slowrnd]

after 40th move players get extra time on the clock.

[@Ulkomaalainen]

More to the point, in chess you have limited time for your moves. While details differ, the main idea is this: you get 2 hours to think about your first 40 moves, another hour for the next 20, half an hour for the rest. Quite commonly, a player needs a lot of time in midgame for some complicated position or trying to calculate whether some sacrifice would work. Which means they are incredibly short on time, say 3 minutes left after the 32nd move - 8 moves left until 40 - or something like that. So you cannot really calculate a lot of stuff anymore. But if you somehow manage to make these 8 moves, you'll get another hour, allowing for another deep think. This is where you look, especially if in a better position, for some repetitions to pass moves without losing much time.
