Chess Therapy | A+ Perfection is Overrated

I sat down again and played until the position was real. This is that second sitting.

Chess therapy. An A+ is overrated. Clean beats perfect.

1.e4 g5. Grob. White takes the g-pawn. Black’s queen starts walking.

Queen on b6. White already spent a bishop on g5. Was that the perfect capture, or just a loud one?

Black’s bishop lands on d4. Then one more step.

rnb1k1nr/pp1ppp1p/1q6/8/2p1P3/2NP1P2/PPPBNbPP/1R1QKB1R w Kkq – 3 9

Bf2#. Eight moves. Name the miss. You do not need a perfect game. You need one seat that holds.

I wish you the best of luck!!
