ItsSheVee,

This is just the first time I've ever played a move that the computer considered brilliant and I want to immortalize it in my feed. This is for me and nobody else kthxbye

pschneider1968,

@ItsSheVee Well done! 👍🍀♟

ItsSheVee,

@pschneider1968 thanks Peter!

birnim,

@ItsSheVee not to lower down your achievement, but your position before the last move is already better. if it was my game and I had to estimate this move, I'd only give myself a single ! just because of that.

ItsSheVee,

@birnim haha this is why I'm only rated 820. I'm just a blind squirrel that occasionally finds a nut

birnim,

@ItsSheVee An analogy to explain my point better: You have the king and one rook in the endgame. Your opponent only has the naked king. There's exactly one move that checkmates the king. Would you rate that move !! or not? Would you rate that move !! or not if there's also another move that leads to stalemate and you successfully avoided that? I would neither because the position is too simple. IMHO exceptional moves are those that aren't obvious and totally turn the tide in equal positions.

birnim,

@ItsSheVee it has nothing to do with your rating really. it was just my regular random rant about using computers for analysis or caring about their move estimations (which they can't elaborate in human language). I mean, it's ok for you to feel this is an !! move (even if it's mostly an aesthetical feeling). But caring what a computer calls it? Not so much.

runarcn,

@ItsSheVee that is very pretty.

ItsSheVee,

@runarcn thank you 😊

@ItsSheVee did they take the poor horsey though?

ItsSheVee,

@Lifecoach5000 they did, but next move was checkmate Qh5#

runarcn,

@Lifecoach5000 @ItsSheVee yeah it's forced, king can't move

@runarcn @ItsSheVee oops. Shows you how good my board vision is. I’m still waking up though - yeah that’s my excuse lol

runarcn,

@Lifecoach5000 @ItsSheVee heh, didn't see it at first myself :P

Kinda weird, since I saw the checkmate but still tried to calculate what would happen if the king moved🤔
