Move of the day2 Aug 2026

I BORROWEDA QUEEN OFFTHE NEXT BOARD.

Move 27, pawn to c7. One square off a second queen and I already had one on the board, so I got up and borrowed a spare off the next board. He had not even replied yet.

Engine says Black is +3 here. Nobody told me. He resigned seven moves later.

Zug des Tages2. Aug. 2026

DAME AUSGEBORGT.VOM BRETTNEBEN MIR.

Zug 27, Bauer nach c7. Ein Feld vor der zweiten Dame und eine hatte ich schon am Brett, also bin ich aufgestanden und hab mir vom Nachbarbrett eine ausgeborgt. Geantwortet hatte er da noch gar nicht.

Laut Engine steht Schwarz hier +3. Hat mir keiner gesagt. Sieben Züge später hat er aufgegeben.

Runde 2Zug 27c7

One square from a second queen Ein Feld vor der zweiten Dame

Round two, move 27. The pawn on c6 steps to c7, one more square and it turns into a queen, and I already had a queen on the board. So I stood up, walked to the neighbouring board and borrowed their spare one for psychological warfare, before he had even replied. It sat next to the pawn for the rest of the game, where he had to look at it.

The engine says Black was winning here by about three pawns and that the rook belonged on c5 instead. Nobody told me either of those things. I would have done it anyway. He cracked seven moves later.
