  • wow that shit was cold blooded at the end ima see if i could do this on chess.com if anybody has better websites let me now please

  • @Catapultandclingfilm he resigned

  • f****** torture!!!! 

  • @nibirux2012 lol, nice one

  • @Catapultandclingfilm From what I understand, he simply resigned because he saw the outcome. If black queen takes white queen, black will be a knight up at the end, and has better end-game position, most probably using better pawn position to get a queen.

  • so what move did Levitsky make after marshall sacrificed his queen?

  • TOWER HEIST

  • its a code blue-black

  • @olaf2046

    you got me xD
