Namaste to the readers! I'm writing on this platform for the first time. You can expect funny chess stories, interesting games and thoughts here. My personal blog has a lot of chess-oriented stuff : www.chessindia.blogspot.in
For now, lets take a look at the game where I sacrificed two rooks!
Try to find the forced mate!
And that was quite memorable indeed!
Postscript :
Let's go back to this position:
Position after 17.Nc3
17...Qxh1 18.Kd2 and now Black need not take the rook on a1. He could simply play Qh2 defending the key diagonal - h2-b8, thus preventing Bf4 + in the future. So Black would be a rook up for nothing.
Lessons ;
1) Don't give a check because you see it. Instead, Calculate further and see if you really benefit from it (14.Bg5)
2) Don't take everything you get. (18...Qxa1)
I offered my rooks and my opponent gladly accepted them!
I was lucky, I was lucky.
See you soon,
- Niranjan Navalgund
