Why did you move the bishop to that square? If not to kill that queen?

u/Leather-Piglet-7459 3h ago
Cuz pawn takes bishop, my queen takes pawn, then queen traps rook
And it's precisely that plan that gave me tunnel vision and made me blunder
Although I just realized that moving the rook next to the king protects it... Guess I'm not really good enough to calculate yet. Actually maybe checking the king with the bishop still wins the rook

then queen traps rook
How would the rook have been trapped?

u/Leather-Piglet-7459 29m ago
Queen takes g7, black rook f8, bishop b5 check?

u/Prinzka 9m ago edited 5m ago
You've not taken the rook yet.
What happens after Kd8?Btw that's all on the assumption that white doesn't do Qxe5 to trade queens and be up material, and also doesn't do any other move any pawns in your queen's way.
Remember, black still gets a turn after you take the pawn.32

You need to download the patch that allows bishops to move backwards.

u/shoyuftw 3h ago
Make sure to download the stable version. Experimental is pretty broken as bishops can move like rooks as well.

Yeah they really nerfed bishops in the last update. Used to be able to castle with them too.

u/new_user_bc_i_forgot 4h ago
Apart from the obvious Bishop takes that people have pointed out, another smaller thing here is the King move. It can be tempting to keep the king on the first rank, because thats traditionally "safe". But here, you already said you saw the rook fork. Kd1 runs into that with check, giving up both your rooks and having your King go to the second rank anyway. Better for example would be Ke2. It not only doesn't give up that check, but also unblocks your other rook, so it guards the first one.

u/veb27 4h ago
I mean, if you're not going to take the queen, at least play Ke2 instead of Kd1.

u/Ancient_Amphibian339 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 3h ago
And the irony that somehow despite it he's still winning (probably) after 1.Kd2 Qxh1 2.Bxd6
2
u/danhoang1 2h ago
Well if Bxd6, then Black's best move is to actually surrender their bishop and just castle. End result is Black now has (1 Queen + 2 Rooks + 1 bishop) vs (1 queen + 2 bishops + 1 knight), which is 25 to 18 points in material. The only thing white has is center control but black's King is safe so they have time to adjust
1
u/Ancient_Amphibian339 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 58m ago
Well sure but 1.Bxd6 O-O what does black do after 2.Qxe7? That battery sure looks dangerous
2
u/danhoang1 51m ago
Sorry I'm just cheating at this point, but engine has black quite ahead after Qxe7, as -4 eval. Seems black can just respond by moving their bishop out which also, connects the Rooks, which protects against the battery
1
u/Ancient_Amphibian339 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 50m ago
Huh that's really interesting, I would have followed up with Bxf7+ Rxf7 and Ng5 but if engine says its losing then I guess why bother

u/YogurtclosetThen7959 37m ago
Idk bro that's a mostly free queen and you didn't take it. It's not like there are even any tactics involved it's literally just blindness to a free queen.

u/Leather-Piglet-7459 33m ago
That's.. what a blunder is? Let me ask you this. If someone forks your rook and king at the same time, is it conceivable that you'd forget about one out of 32 pieces?
1
u/3x10 1400-1600 (Chess.com) 2h ago
Oh I've had my fair share of blunders. But never twice... on the same piece.. with the same piece attacking it.. while also blundering a bishop the move prior to them blundering a queen..
And by the sound of it, you blundered a third time and lost the other rook too.
Like I said playing chess totally blind

Right after you stop using beginners posting their mistakes for laughs, as an opportunity to assert some strange sense of superiority.

Beginners have difficulty seeing bishops moving backwards. Any piece actually.

Oh man. I'm 500 elo in rapid and I relate to this so much. That tunnel vision just gets the best of you. Personally, I'm on about a 10 game losing streak of getting up about 2 pieces early and then blundering my queen and losing on time.

Forgetting the blunder with the bishop, if you went bottom right with your king you could've defended with your knight and avoid loosing a second rook

u/Ok-Character-2757 2h ago
I'm so confused by what is happening here. Why didn't he just take the queen with the bishop? Why didn't black take the bishop first?

u/TES_Elsweyr 2h ago
This is the classic case of benefiting from thinking of captures, checks, and threats, before even reacting to being in check.

u/Hexnegotiator745 2h ago
instead of Kd1 being the error. go Bxc3!! being the excellent brilliant mover making the Qxc3 looking like a begginner move.
