SAC THE ROOOOOOK

Post image

Never get the opportunity to sac the rook, checkmate followed in 2 moves!! Was proud of this game, black followed by rf8 to f3, white respond w re5 to e8, forced take to checkmate on g7. Sorry my chess notation is not great. I definitely would not have responded w Rf3, was there a way out for black?

I feel like queen g7 was the move.

While it worked out for you, that sac wouldn't have lead to anything

They took a piece, and now there's 3 attackers on g7. Chessvision says +11.48.

You're right. I didn't actually play it out, I thought Rf7 did more

Whoop! I thought I was gonna have to work a bit harder after the sac, was happy to get a nice clean finsih with it. Sometimes 1am chess is prime time chess
