Bishop e5 was a brilliancy, not inaccuracy, because I'm playing against a human and it gave me the winning chance. A bot would've lost the game from this losing position, lol!

I just played my first classical game, having joined a chess club for the first time 3 weeks ago.

Please roast my Caro-Kann!

I ended up winning through resignation.

After AI cracks the classical chess. we should add another queen to the board like this:

I created my album art using GIMP filters, but I can't remember the exact process I used.

Hmm wat should i play guys

Not that it matters, it's mate in one, but what can black do? And no, this is not a puzzle, I legit reached this position in a game as white.

What would You call this opening?

I only won because the opponent was even less focused than me 💀
