Bong cloud opening!Take importance out of it, what do y'all think is the best chess move ever?
For reference guys, I'm referring to a specific move out of a specific game, take for example when on move 23, as a response to Rc5, Frank Marshall played Qg6 sacrificing his queen against Levitsky forcing him to resign. The move was so beautiful that people started throwing gold coins at the board, which now gives it the nickname "the gold coin game."
When Tal sacrificed his rook allowing Karpov to take it with check knowing he had a mate coming by opening the line for his bishop? That move is special icl. A lot of sacrifices are checks which lead to a series of checks and mate. The move allowing Karpov to take with check knowing he wouldn't be back in time to defend his king is brilliant.I think the best move I've seen is Ng3, Karpov v. Tal, Brussels '87
It is absolutely not one of the flashiest moves (especially for a player like Tal who's entire career was filled with risky sacrifices), but many people reference it as the best example of Positional vs. Tactical chess, and I feel like it had a big impact on the types of games that people started playing leading up to the modern era.
Yup, wonderful move.When Tal sacrificed his rook allowing Karpov to take it with check knowing he had a mate coming by opening the line for his bishop? That move is special icl. A lot of sacrifices are checks which lead to a series of checks and mate. The move allowing Karpov to take with check knowing he wouldn't be back in time to defend his king is brilliant.
Is that offer still open or have I missed my window of opportunity?Yup, wonderful move.
Also, If anyone's down for a game, I'm free for a bit
nope, feel free to sendhave I missed my window of opportunity?
You mean, the best move I ever saw in the big chess? Here.Take importance out of it, what do y'all think is the best chess move ever?
Ndc5? Or Nec3? I'm assuming Ndc5 because it was the tactic I was looking at but what happens after the queen moves?Ah, my bad, should’ve said the best move, cus yea, black wins regardless. Ndc3 is golden on so many levels tho.
Ndc5, white queen moves out of the way then black queen takes on f7 to get black out of the forkNdc5? Or Nec3? I'm assuming Ndc5 because it was the tactic I was looking at but what happens after the queen moves?
I'm so horrible, I completely forgot that moving the knight clears a path for the queen.Ndc5, white queen moves out of the way then black queen takes on f7 to get black out of the fork
Winning but it’s still playable (rook against bishop and knight), but after Ndc5 it’s a certain GG for Whites.Maybe I'm tripping but isn't black still winning even if you lose the rook for a knight?

Immediately take my rook, I don’t need it sir (R:b6 and checkmate from either Rb8# or Qc7#)
Is the move that great? Nah. But it's from my game about 20 minutes ago so I figured I'd post it.
You are +4 but this is a one minute bullet game so converting the position under time pressure might lead to slip ups. Find the only move that forces checkmate.
I've seen this puzzle already and I'll just tell you RN no one is finding this. Literally grandmasters and computer engines couldn't.
white to move and win
can you guys find it
