I did a calculation that paid off in my favor. I knew I could get a mate if I just could get the opponent's queen off the square that would protect the king. So I did a decoy move that baited the queen to take my purposefully hanging pawn, and then the mating net could spring into action. Let's watch and see what happened!
I started playing chess in November of 2023. I have other bigs brands that I run, but my mind needed to continue its neuroplasticity, so I started studying chess as a hobby after a childhood family friend who was a chess protegy inspired me. Ultimately, I aspire to get to a level where I can win against that childhood friend who was a chess protegy. Add me on Chess.com and Lichess as jerrycricket. If you add me, please let me know.
