As White, I gave up 3 pieces to reach this position and missed mate in two.
Can you find the next two moves that end the game?
Can you find the next two moves that end the game?
The answer is 1. Qg6+ ...Kf8 (only move). 2. Qg8 mate. Well, I ended up winning this game anyway because the other guy ran out of time. That sucks. It was one of those positions - I had a feeling might work out if I sent everything.
Immediately after sac'ing the pieces I had an opportunity to force a draw but decided to go for the win even tho it wasn't clear to me that it was winning.
The computer's analysis even recommended the sac's (!) but I missed its perfect continuation.
So, the chess intuition isn't too bad at this point but that's about all I have right now. After a few 2 minute 12 second blitz games, I still can't calculate & I'm missing easy things. Relying on keeping it simple & a lot of feel. I'll have to post that game on here tomorrow.
