@DyingOfSIDS OMG Do I see correctly 1...hxg5 2.hxg5 Qe7 3.Bh7+ Kh8 4.Ne5 Qxg5 5.Bg6+ Kg8 6.Bxf7+ Rxf7 7.Rh8+ Kxh8 8.Nxf7+ Kg8 9.Nxg5 ? That is so gorgeous

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@SusanPolgar 1.g6 exf5+ 2.Kd3 and gg

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@OMG4life5337 @bennettchess I'm wondering the same

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@ImShahinyan 21.Nb3# :) Very cute

@TheMarxMachine @JoshuaG19367959 @ChessVonDoom @GMJacobAagaard is this whole post a ragebait? if so, it is very successful

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@RoizMichael83 1.Na1 :)

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@ZibbitVideos Right, because Bd2 would trap the knight

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@Kaldas90 The thing is for an engine, the chances of losing this with white after both moves are exactly the same - 0%. For humans this number will be a lot higher for h4. Still, idk if I could choose Nd5 here, since it's still missing out on huge winning chances. Really interesting topic

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@IMIljaSirosh First move that comes to mind is 1...Be7, making room on d6 for the knight after g2-g4.

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@andyjss @Kaldas90 I can actually see this happening

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@IMIljaSirosh Nxc6 and e5

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@asa_earvin @JanPeterBogers @IMIljaSirosh Okay, 1.Ra1 Rb7 2.Rg1 Rb2 3.Rg3 fxg3+, what's your move?

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@StreetFightsHQ Why is there a picture of Robert James Fischer

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@IMIljaSirosh Yes, that makes sense

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@IMIljaSirosh I suppose you mean 2.Rh1 Kg7 3.Rxh6, right? It looks crushing too, though I didn't see anything clear after 3...Rh8, but I didn't give it much time so I probably missed something strong there

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@IMIljaSirosh 1.Qg8, took me like 4-5 minutes though, the idea is that 1.Kd6 doesn't work because of 1...h5 so you switch up the move order and now after 1...h5 you have 2.Ke5#

[Štěpán Hrbek @HrbekStepan]

@SusanPolgar too obvious

@JulianLinStocks @IMIljaSirosh 8/10 ragebait
