This one should be dubbed as "The Ever foul" game of chess and it deserves a medal at it's own merit !

Those players be like: "What could possibly go wrong"

4:35 I think a lot of beginners will just trade queens since it just makes the situation less complex.

my best guess for 18:20 is they are going for the "pp on the pp" aka put pressure on the pinned piece (the rook in this case) because they don't want to trade material (not knowing they could take material without trading because they are as good as your avarage random noob or anarchy chess user) or maybe they are flexing the fact that black can't en passant that pawn, so black is forced to resign since the forced move is illegal

I tought the rip eas for Averbach...

The idea behind pawn to f5, if there is one, is that if bishop takes, then the pawn can fork the bishop and the horse, and then if bishop takes again then it forces a queen trade. Not a good idea, but an idea.

It’s funny how you assume that players at this level „offer to trade their queens“. They probably just see a piece that they can attack and don’t even see the opponents queen attacking the square that they want to move to.

I can almost guarantee that white was surprised it was mate

23:49 Levy : please kill me fast, please !

No more Chess. *No more Card.*

As someone who trades the queen every chance they get, it’s because I’ve blundered mate in 1 too many times so getting the queen off the board makes it so I can’t blunder mate in 1
