Chess Blunder of the Century

[Za7a7aZ]

There are Kings, Queens, Knights, Rooks, Pawns, Bishops and Cows......the latter operate the game.

[samtone21]

lol Why is the young guy sweating bullets over a leisurely played game of chess? Its not for money is it? Oh, I get it. It was for his inheritance, lol. Don't lose the family farm to your sister man! :-P

[colorblind99]

I guess thats your dad

[Reddwarff29]

Black has loads of move he can play?

Whats wrong with Bd3xN?

Or f4xN?

Or just carry on playing after..

BxBc5, NxBc5, QxQd5?

[Reddwarff29]

If I had to give the younger dude a tip.

I,d would be not to over think your moves.

Look at one line of moves If it looks to you like it doesn,t work move on to another one.

Over thinking is bad for your game.

[Reddwarff29]

I reckon I can have that old man.

Are you trying to say something?

[TroubledHands]

I like how the old man is calm, cool, and collect..just waiting for his opponent to make a move cause he's got his next four already figured out in his head

[rhaphanido]

The cameraman was me. Sorry I didn't do a better job!

[PegasoltaEclair]

What is 'N'? It's K-night, not Night.

[rhaphanido]

In standard chess notation 'K' is used for 'King', so 'N' is used for 'Knight' (sometimes, in old books, you might see 'Kt').

[PegasoltaEclair]

Well, ok, it's kinda ridiculous.

[vietmaste12]

... no it's not lmao. King is the top piece on the board, it gets the priority.

[novawildcat89]

haha you fuckin idiot. "what is 'n'" HAHAHAHA.

[PegasoltaEclair]

Yes, I'm a fucking idiot who has never ever read an English chessbook.

[medocommando]

@PegasoltaEclair N is for knight dude 

[gqmighty]

@PegasoltaEclair K is king...so knight just ends up as N....

[MoPar7055]

@PegasoltaEclair N stands for the knight because if they used K it would be confused with the king

[Cationification]

@PegasoltaEclair if K is Knight. Explain the King!?

[darkteknical]

Dude, you got owned by an old man...

[taipan342]

how long have these dudes been playing chess for?

[rhaphanido]

On move 7, Black captures on c6 with the b7 pawn, not the bishop on d7.

[alexmagnus1]

A bit to materialistic played, hence overlooking the perpetual. But good game, better than I'd expect from a 100-year-old. He'd probably beat me in a match.

[rhaphanido]

16 Nxd5 Bxf4?? (the blunder) 17 Nxf4 Qe7 18 Nxe6 Qxe6 19 Re1 Qf5 20 Rxe8+ Rxe8 21 c3 Qc2 22 Qd2 Qf5 23 Nd4 Qd5 24 b3 Rd8 25 Rd1 Qh5 26 Qe1 Qd5 27 c4 Qd6 28 b4 a5 29 c5 Qd5 30 a3 Qa2 31 Nxc6 Rxd1 32 Qxd1 Qxa3 33 Qd8+ Kh7 34 Qxc7 axb4 35 Qa5 (White lets the win slip away) Qc1+ 36 Kh2 Qf4+ and Black has forced perpetual check. A good recovery from a sticky situation by Black. But all credit to the 100-year-old player of the white pieces.

[luke19631963]

I am trying to follow this game but have a problem. On move 10 for black you said the move is Be6, however how does the bishop get there from his c6 square?

[jettymichael]

7 ... bxc6 is capturing with the b pawn, not the _B_ishop. =]

[luke19631963]

Ok thanks. :)
