Hahaha that is so true. I’m actually very annoyed at myself. I fianchetto my bishop for that very reason. I want to win a poison pawn or a rook! This case, I didn’t win anything. Thanks for the comment!
New to chess. Can someone explain to me why the king can’t go to G1? Nothing is threatening that square from what I see? I don’t understand how this is checkmate? If the queen was on H2 I would understand, but here I’m lost.
It's not a checkmate. If you look closely at the white king, it has a white flag, which means that in that move, white resigned if instead it was # that means it was a checkmate.
Congratulations on being new to chess! I miss that feeling, one of the best in the world. Thank you for your question; and it looks like some great people gave you an explanation! I’m sorry for the bad communication skills. I did say, that’s mate in the video, should have said mate in 2! How are you enjoying chess? Are you addicted yet?
Thou art a weaver of tales! Seriously though I didnt see that nice move with the fianchettoed bishop
That is a beautiful phrase “ a weaver of tales.” When I write a book, I’ll make sure to include it!
Most moves were just fine, if the rook wasnt hanging to that tactic for half of them

1 in 3 games in 1700 end with queen blunder😅
That’s a great statistic. For my games, every game does! 😂
Are you around the 1700 elo level?

Black flag*
It is not mate on that exact move. It will be mate on the next move with Kg1 and Qh2#. Hence, the opponent resigned.
