Thanks for that 🙂, but I think you fired it one move too late!

Just got it in a bullet game

I think so. 😀

Game 2441068

Here is one when I had a reversed gun set up... I was in a lost position and decided to attempt to get into a drawn position with a suicide move... almost worked.

Ouch. Your opponent must have been sick after that finish.

Game 2336786

Hmm...I used Alekhine's Gun here...it produced a passed e pawn that doesn't look like it's going anywhere...I had an aesthetically nice looking, very comfortable position after move 23, but naturally the rooks were traded off the board...

(A drawn position; I resigned due to playing too many games...)

good example of time where queen in middle is better

good example of queen in back may be better

an example of where it was not going to achieve anything (move 21) so the Q wandered off elsewhere
