    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. 😞

    You mean you did Rg8 instead of Rf8?

    I think that should be 2..Rf8.

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

    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.
