This will be the new thread for my new streaming. So far it's lacking content, since streaming hasn't started again, but till then I will humor you with random stuff. Here's something to fire up with. I've just played a game of sheer beauty. So...

Here, guess the move!

White to move, duh.

Qd5. This works based on the c-file pin to mate with rc1 if black responds with cxd5. You can then use this square to make progress so that qe5 can be possible .Then I saw the deflection attempt G5 for black which leads to the most incredible line .
Something like this Qd5 g5 bg3 f5 bxf5 a5 qe5 and mate to follow unless black gives the queen for the bishop. Nice tactic using multiple pins (would not mind seeing the entire game could you pm me the moves ? )

( At first I was looking at bd6 lines after qd5, but it looks like black can worm out of that line .EDIT: Looks like bd6 also wins . Just not by as much a material margin . QD5 g5 bd6 f5 bxf8 (if cxd5 rc1 nc5 rxc5 kb8 be7 b6 bxd8 bxf5 winning) rxf8 qxf5 rxq bxr kc7 re7 rd8 rxh7 looks winning also .


P.S, was that a blitz game ? ... if so nice see . You may get me to dig into my library for one .

BTW I solved this in like 45 seconds edit : Ended taking a bit longer for every solution a few minutes more . lol . But these are well known themes in that pawn structure

I saw Qd5, but that's not a solution on its own. What if Black plays ...f6?

F6 similar idea .. QD5 F6 QA5 (IF B6 QA6 mate , so qxd6 once again is forced )

EDIT : TOOK THE BOLD OFF

Qa5 nails it.

If he plays like b6 you have Qa6 mate.

The nice thing was the whole thing that lead up to here.

You can just edit the first to oblivion I guess.

But yes that's it. King's Gambit, mind you.

Well I just added the bd6 line to be more complete.( It is not really relevant just extra credit lol . Kings Gambit hmmm but you do like aggressive openings

Ah, very nice. So Qb5 ought to be an alternate solution, but Qc3 doesn't cut it because of that clever tactic you found starting with ...g5.

Deflection tactic, yeah .Why actually looked at qd5 and bd6 before I even saw qe5 to be honest.

As said Qd5, should be noted that it results in a very pretty position with zugzwang, where almost every black move results in mate in x moves. It would have been a perfect zugzwang if black couldn't play g5 Bg3 f5 and draw the game out a little longer.
