I had a blitz game that was a comeback... I am not sure if it counts since it was a quick game
This was the position (move 38) where Black should have wiped me off the board with Re3+ (winning the bishop) but he went on eating pawns and was mated.
btw I know my blitz rating is horrible

I had to trade a rook for a knight trying to improve my position then, in the middle of his attack, delivered the kiss of death.
Originally posted by adam warlockYes, that's a minor (~ 2 points) one. That one I put on my profile was exciting. I felt like I played much better than I have. I was down by 9 points (he trapped and got my queen)
Is this a comeback?

BTW pawn = 1 pt, knight/bishop=3, rook = 5, queen = 9

Originally posted by adam warlockI mean both. In that case, you got a good position to continue attacking his king, etc.

I'd like to see a 10+ point comeback, that'd be amazing, especially if it is against a good player.
Mine technically was a 4 point comeback though.
And I sure learned...the first thing to do in a comeback is to make sure everything is well positioned

For a moment she was in a two points disadvantage, but then here comes the neighbourhood!!!
Maybe not a grat comeback considering points but gotta love the rook sacrifice and the final disposition of the pieces. At least I do 🙂
Originally posted by adam warlockWow. That was a really messed up game.

What do you say about this one?
Yeah, you did well to win what was hopeless, but for one thing he gave up his queen in an open blunder and easy position from there.
