I watched this speed chess game live and the move blew my mind.


Spoiler35.Qxg6+!!

Two exclams is a brilliant move. Discovered checks can be nasty and that's true here. The discovered checks of the bishop are devastating.

White's move blew my mind but after I saw that - I could easily see this very simple continuation: check, kill the bishop, check, kill the queen and it's effectively game over.

Daniel Naroditsky is one of the best speed chess players in the world. And he's been on a roll recently.

What's to stop the king from taking the queen though?

Nothing. But then white moves the rook to g7 (protected by the bishop, so can't be taken by the king) and checkmates instantly

shocked-pikachu This is why I hate this game lol.
