It was white to move. I had just moved my light-square bishop H3 to G4 and he resigned in that position.
It was like this on my turn a couple of moves ago: The greatest thing about this was that my Bishops somehow got in behind his pawns, and then his knight is pinned, but he can't even unpin since all the king moves are illegal. It was a weird game because I had given up a lot of pawns over the course of the game, but he made a lot of pawn moves and weakened his squares so I was able to get in behind his pawns. This kind of ending is highly unusual. Link to game here: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/145685092 (Be warned, the game is pretty bad overall, we both made terrible blunders, haha) He was quite a bit lower rated than me, so there were probably better defenses for him over the course of the game.
I'm missing something here. If you took the pawn on Bishop2 (I favor the older notation) or f2 his rook can take your queen and if then you take his rook with your rook, his king can take your rook safely. Never mind, I see it. I'm thinking of the wrong pawn. Taking the king's pawn forces his move and then you can move your rook beside the king.
Sokolov won again but he doesn't know it yet, bullshit top down 2d board XD maybe he ****s up? unlikely cause he takes his time with his moves and sometimes analyzes it like the game isn't more fun if you just make a move based on first glance, bloodlust and intuition. he will never defeat me though, my people have a long history of rebellion and banditry, occasional piracy. I'll just keep coming back
*paws at screen inefectually* I just played around with the settings a bit, went red for the board colour. going to try out one of the 3d options hidden all the way down for board type
