The RHP Championship Rd2 is under way.
meule has resigned all his games with players over 2000 after one move.
Each to their own I suppose.
In the first round there were 64 (!) one move resignations.
One of the first genuine wins was:
jankrb (2114) - Pi3 (1713) RHP 2013 Championship Rd2
This is an old trick that has caught out 20+ RHP players in the exact same setting.
The beauty of it is the pawn fork ‘just appears’ through natural moves.
Even Robbie has caught someone with it. Game 9654953
(and then proceeded to make a meal of the win. 😉 ….Robbie here….)
22.Ne7+ either mates Black or wins the Queen with check.
jankrb (2114) - Pi3 (1713) RHP 2013 Championship Rd2
Shock of round 2 (so far)
Chucker (2414) - radicalcpp (2087) RHP Ch 2013 (r2)
When Chucker lived up to his name and chucked a Rook.
90% of this is theory. I’ve seen this piece sac before on RHP, Black gets 3-4 pawns
and a King on the run for his Bishop. On here White has the edge on wins.
White's 18th was most likely blitzing, most of the other RD 2 games are not yet over
10 moves. When this finished it’s 18 moves were the 2nd highest in RD.2.
Originally posted by greenpawn34In the last game, is there anything wrong with 18.Qg3+ and 19.Qxg7?

The Instructor
Hello!
It's true Chucker and I were playing overnight (4 a.m.), making a move every 10 minutes aprox. but the last move 18. g4 was played many hours later (you can check the game log).
18. Be2 has been played in that position.
19.Qg3+ is not enough to save the game. There is no 19. Qxg7.
And black is 3 pawns and an exchange up.
Fortune favors the bold. 😉
