The strongest Move I've ever seen!

Post by reflectionofpower »

This was played in Lonodn 1927

[d]rnbqk2r/pppp1ppp/4pn2/8/1bPP4/5N2/PP1BPPPP/RN1QKB1R b KQkq - 3 4

Now here is the killer move Ke7!! thinking that it is his queen:

[d]rnbq3r/ppppkppp/4pn2/8/1bPP4/5N2/PP1BPPPP/RN1QKB1R w KQ - 4 5

Here comes the purity of it all after BxB:

Kxb4!!

Steinitz would be proud!

A mouse slip really irritates me especially if you are winning and you hang your queen or something. Of course this is part of the game and I never give takebacks and I do not expect them either.

I played so many games in a year+ or so I had to replace my mouse as it would release prematurely because of wear and tear every day. It lost me a lot of games that way. For the normal person it would work perfectly but not under blitz chess conditions.

Try touchscreen instead of mouse. I play on my mobile phone using ChessOK and chess.com apps and I find touchscreen faster and more natural than mouse.

But you pay a price for this as it not as efficient ergonomically than say using a laptop/desktop with proper seating,height and monitor levels. A mouse slip only happens in a blue moon so it's not a big concern of mine. It's part of the game.
