I have a mate here (in 8) but only if I spot the correct idea. I didn't, but the position is so good I won anyway -- it just took a bit longer. (Hint: Where do I want my bishop to be?) #chesspunks

In this complicated position where both of us are attacking I had only one move that works. I couldn't find it and ended up losing the game. Can you figure it out? I think it's pretty hard to find, but maybe that's me.

So I'm playing a game, trying to decide on a move. My 16yo son walks by and in less than a second says, "Take the pawn with the bishop. If he takes back you'll win his rook." He doesn't do puzzles, study, nothing. He just sees these thing so much faster than me. So frustrating.

We all know the meaning of “down a piece” or “down an exchange”, but what do you call rook vs. 2 minor pieces? #chess
