we started playing chess a few months ago

a couple days ago we started using lichess instead of chess.com and it's way better 0_0

also somehow we're beating some 10-1100's? even though we're only 800 on chess.com? so that's cool

anyway this game is fun

my opponent played the englund gambit against me in daily chess. i rarely see the englund gambit and it's strange to me that someone would play it in daily chess of all places

In post 11, Something_Smart wrote:Do you have an example position? If I understand the question right, the strat is to attack their furthest-back pawn with your king, and then cut off their king so they're forced to move it away and leave the pawn undefended.

when stockfish says you made 2 blunders but they're both the same 6-move tactic where your opponent can sac their bishop and knight and win your queen
