Do you see how to punish the misplaced King, or are you human??
Bonus points if you were planning this brilliancy my G!
But it looks like my G missed something—PS—Family FORK only beats Discovery about 50 percent of the time—(this is why we BLITZ)
Game 7: The Atomic Borg energy may have been triggered by the Game 6 false flag — but this is also textbook TCZ attacking energy — trust and believe in the Borg — Check out this #chess game: Georoni vs TCZ_CoachChad – https://www.chess.com/live/game/109999877473
Game 8: Just a beautiful game with a great counter and a fabulous finish — GG, clean! — Check out this #chess game: TCZ_CoachChad vs fritzdutter – https://www.chess.com/live/game/110000482113
Game 9: Near perfection vs an NM flagster, but which Coach was too tilted? It seems like a rematch is already overdue.. Check out this #chess game: ElCoachRene vs TCZ_CoachChad – https://www.chess.com/live/game/110001085919
Game 10: ANOTHER MISSED WIN, from ANOTHER RIVAL FLAGSTER, but it’s all good, the chess speaks for itself — Check out this #chess game: InternationalMoron vs TCZ_CoachChad – https://www.chess.com/live/game/110001689701

— frankly speaking black actually has played multiple great moves throughout the game.. and although this next position looks quite suspect—white seems to have objectively achieved better development, at least with regards to King safety —yet the position is certainly worth a deep look..because the obvious plan of Be5 (pinning the Knight on F6 to the Queen on G7) has multiple not so-obvious yet absolutely great (and necessary) counter play ideas (half-open G-file attacks utilizing a strange rook on G8 have become a common theme in the Borg) — so white might be tempted to dawdle or even blunder amongst such a tense position once they’ve considered how black is coordinating chaotic attacks everywhere and deftly defending everything else..the endgames are all bluffs at this point..don’t tilt too soon!
Here’s an accuracy snapshot from the engines at chess(dot)com— valuable mistakes were made in all the games — this is why post game review is the best training tool — just do it!
