A Near Fail Endgame That I Somehow Still Won - Chess Beginner Hilarious Moments
3Have you ever played a chess endgame so badly that you wonder how you won? Let's watch this example of an endgame that an opponent completely threw away despite me near blundering once. This is such a funny case study in what to do and what not to do when it comes to forcing moves, pawn promotion, checks, and other tactical and strategic maneuvers. Let's watch and learn. Have you ever played an epic fail endgame?
I started playing chess in November of 2023. I have other bigs brands that I run, but my mind needed to continue its neuroplasticity, so I started studying chess as a hobby after a childhood family friend who was a chess protegy inspired me. Ultimately, I aspire to get to a level where I can win against that childhood friend who was a chess protegy. Add me on Chess.com and Lichess as jerrycricket. If you add me, please let me know.
