First time I’ve ever played against someone who didn’t look at the board the entire game. I was skeptical he would be able to keep track of all the pieces in his head. When I called out my move, Knight d7, Sam asks “which knight” it’s was incredible. With no satisfactory defence against checkmate, I resigned.

🤩🤯🏆

Sofia and Oakley played a 30 min + 3 sec match last night. Although slightly down material, Sofia maintained a significant positional advantage throughout the game.
Using his ingenuity, Oakley developed a quick mating attack, aligning Bishop and Queen along the a8-h1 diagonal. Unable to coordinate a timely defence against this attack, Oakley delivered the Dark Queen into the castled position with immediate checkmate.

Awesome game 👏

Chess Club will be on tonight. Last week there was a slight memory lapse which led to these dedicated members being locked out. They played outside anyways 😁.
