Last on the Broken Chairs list is a King’s Gambit, 2.f4 exf4, with pawns flying on the kingside. White recaptures on f4 with the bishop on move 8, and Black’s bishop already sits on g4.
rn1qkbnr/ppp2p2/3p4/7p/3PPBb1/5N2/PPP1B1P1/RN1QK2R b KQkq – 0 8
White took back on f4. The h-file is half-open. Black’s bishop sits on g4. Who owns the next check?
Jump to the rook lift. White’s rook hits h8 with check. Finish the count.
rn1qk2R/ppp2p2/3p4/6b1/3PPBp1/2N5/PPP3P1/R3K3 b Qq – 0 13
Is the king hunt real, or can Black still save wood? Play both sides. Name the miss.
I wish you the best of luck!!
