Goofee Dec 2020 10:20am, 27 Dec 2020 3,490 posts	Quote Pin Goofee Good points, Jules. I saw the check, but that it was immediately solved by black taking the rook meant I failed to think through any follow-up. Keep asking those questions of subsequent positions is what I need to take from that!

Goofee Dec 2020 10:38am, 27 Dec 2020 3,491 posts	Quote Pin Goofee Yes, well played, simbil, I felt overwhelmed almost from the start of that one!
merry bishmas Dec 2020 10:51am, 27 Dec 2020 165 posts	Quote Pin merry bishmas Mate in 7... good luck in finding this one. (I played the rook check which is mate in 8 if played correctly)

Goofee Dec 2020 11:08am, 27 Dec 2020 3,492 posts	Quote Pin Goofee Pothunter, I can't get any link to work at the moment (issue is my IT skills) but it's Rook to c1 check, Bishop takes Rook on c1, Rook takes Bishop on c1 check, Bishop to c4, Rook takes Bishop on c4 check, Queen takes Rook on c4, Queen to c8 checkmate
jda Dec 2020 11:21am, 27 Dec 2020 9,116 posts	Quote Pin jda I missed a quicker mate against Weath but as long as I’m playing clearly winning moves I don’t care too much about perfect. In Goofee’s position I saw the mate as it was prompted, but over the board I’d more likely have gone for Qxa7 swapping off queens and pieces for an easy win.
