Check out this #chess game: SouthTroy vs TCZ_CoachChad – https://www.chess.com/live/game/107139083407
Learn the rules like a pro, break them like an artist. The rule says passed pawns must be pushed, and in this 3|2 blitz game SouthTroy followed it while I broke a different rule. I had Black, opened with 1…g5, and went pawn grabbing with my queen: 11…Bxc3+ 12.bxc3 Qxc3+ 13.Qd2 Qxa1+. I got the trades I wanted, ending with 22…Rxh1 23.Bxh1, but my king and rook could not stop White’s pawns. White promoted twice, with 52.h8=Q+ and 60.e8=Q, and mated with 66.Qf1#. A broken rule needs a follow-up plan. I won material and had no plan for White’s passed pawns.
