The final check was by a pawn. Dunno about you but I love doing that. 🙂 Of course he is supported by several other pieces. Pay no attention to the queen blunder.

do all 1100s suck that badly in chess? That was horrible. Black was making more or less random moves...

Yes, Jusuh, I see the major blulnder where I should have lost the game. I don't know if that's how all 1700's play.

you missed the win at move 3

actually, 3. Nxe5! Qe7 just puts white way ahead in development

I've had 3 mates with the f7 pawn.

Nxe5 wow I guess that's why I'm rated 1200 some things that require giving up a knight for pawn don't pop out at us heh.

Here's another where I blundered away some material but still managed to get the win with a pawn. This one she could have stopped me but both of us being lower rated I came out ahead.

No, Nxe5 is the best move.

you either get basically a forced checkmate or a rook if your opponent takes the knight

3. ...Qe7 seems to be the only way not to lose material after Nxe5 but still results in a +- position once you factor in white's lead in development and black's inability to play Nf6.

3. ...fxe5 4. Qh5+ +-

the most extreme situation is similar to: Game 2319900

just replace the f pawn with a knight
