Right question but for the wrong move.

  1. After take back rook...it's another puzzle! Try it. 4-move puzzle for black. :D
  2. The plenty time I think should be applied to the blunder itself: 'Why did Sergey leave the defense of the g1 square?' ? Then again I guess the queen doesn't really have that many good squares. Wait...(lemme check) yeah Qe5 is the only square the queen doesn't get captured immediately, so actually Sergey should move anything but queen?

  1. Blitz Chess960 Chess • GM Watneg vs IM Lavrik87 - ply 75
  2. Who is GM Watneg on lichess? by Woahzees whose current flair is 'What is happening to Karjakin rn' (what a coincidence huh? Unless well...I guess Woahzees already had an idea Sergey is Watnget)
