2 Rooks for a Win

Submitted by cjwenigma on Sat, 11/22/2008 at 11:20pm.

Here is a game I recently played that I was very proud of. This game relates to a theme of chess I've been trying to really work on which is creating weaknesses. In the past I found myself never exploiting the little weaknesses of the position because I thought they were pointless. For example, "Hhmm, I can't move my knight there. He will just push it away with a pawn." That one pawn pushing your knight away could create a weakness in your opponents position. I'm learning to play aggresive in a careful and create way. Not to say we should always be aggressive but play in a way to create little weaknesses while taking care of your own.

Here's my game, I gave up two rooks for this win.

Just wanted to share that example with you. Now go ahead, make some weaknesses and exploit them!

I don't think so, it was happen, just because your opponent made fatal blunder.

And If I was Black, it wouldnt happen.

but it's Ok.

thx

Nice mate but I believe it's not forced. If black doesn't play c6 in response to Bxd5+ then he has the escape square d7. I can't find a mate for white after either 19...Kb8 or 19...Kc8. Sorry about that, but keep trying. You definitely have the right idea. And anyway you won the game, which is the important thing, and in this case the sacs' worked mostly because it's very easy to make a mistake when your King is under attack, which is a pretty good reason to keep attempting them. Carry on and good luck!

That had to be one of the neatest mate and preceding moves I've ever seen. Great game and win. Amazing! I LOVE chess.com.Thank you so much for sharing. Greg
