Posting a tactical chess position from a recent blitz game of mine. I discuss what was played, and what the better option would have been for my opponent to play.

  • very easy but awesome tactical shot - i saw it almost immediately with the dubious 1. . . Qh4??

    The move NdXe3!! is a great move because white's position collapses. As a general rule - you should aim where your pawns point to. Thus said, White's pawns are aiming at the kingside d4 and c3. But after Ndxe3 - it removes the flexibility of white's strong dark-squared bishop and pretty much removes white's attacking chances completely. good game and great position

  • Hi :),can i know what's the software you use ?? :))

    

  • eventually proved that Qh4 was a bad move for black..of which a good chess player can take advantage of ! !

  • @VitalSigns1 what's the point of that? The white queen is sitting on d2 ready to attack c2 which is not protected by black, so black Qc2 move would just lose the queen. Exposing the rook allows the black queen to exchange for a rook, which is still really good for white, but not as exchanging for the bishop on e2
