    Finding my game


    Sometimes I really hate this game. Playing white, guess who ate the queen without thinking?

    I'm not seeing it. I mean I see QxQ and then the knight fork, but I don't see what better option you have.

    1. Rc8+ Kg7 (forced)
    2. Qxd4+ Kh7 (forced)
    3. Qxh8#

    Mate in 3, which I found 10secs after playing that move first thing in the morning in bed. "Ooh free queen!"
