The position arose after
1. Qxf7 Nxe4
so
2. fxe4??
was an obvious falling for the cheap trap.
And the winning move is :
2... Rg8 !!!!!??
I never request takebacks in blitz games, but this just hurts. 😞

I don't believe the move merits 5 exclamation marks though (or any question marks).

Oh, that must hurt a lot... 😲 Of course the Rf8 was the move I intended with knight captures pawn move 🙁

Unlucky... takebacks aren't possible, are they? Yes they are if your opponent agrees, at least on FICS. But takebacks has nothing to do with serious chess I think, even if you make a finger slip..

Joined 22 Jun '04 Moves 42677 Is White completely lost after 3 Qxf8+ Qxf8+ 4 Kg2? At a quick glance, he has the 2 rooks and a knight v. Queen and bishop.
