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 think that should be 2..Rf8.

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

Of course the Rf8 was the move I intended with knight captures pawn move 🙁

Yes, but they missed that and played the wrong move (admittedly it paid off! 😉)

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..

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.
