i find at -4 pts ... i rarely if ever, prevail .. heck l8tely prevailing period is becoming the challenge! Anyone have a game where they won when down a queen ?
Best comeback - As they sat down to start game 3 in the recently finished World Championship, Magnus Carlsen was caught on camera saying to Anand: "Nice wig Vishy, what's it made of?". Quick as a flash Anand quipped: "Your mum's chest hair!".
Not my game, but an inspirational example, nonetheless. Interestingly, after winning the queen (for a piece and a pawn, but not much else) in move 11, the White player did nothing else but defended for the remainder of the game.
The only game I won with no queen vs queen I think. Black presses all the way, then gets himself into trouble, blundering (or saccing?🙂) his queen and only then manages to hunt the white king down.

I was at a bikini bar once and the only dancer that day was outside taking a cigarette break. A guy walked in, saw all the guys and said, "It looks like a gay bar in here!"
One of the patrons came back with "Is that why you came?"
