I Did My First Checkmate By Pawn Promotion In Chess
This endgame sequence I've never really studied yet in chess, and I actually could have gotten it sooner, but eventually I saw it during a game I played. Now I will always be on the lookout when I have a passed pawn. Do you remember your first checkmate by pawn promotion? Let me know your favorite chess moments!
I started playing chess in November of 2023. I study it as a hobby and aspire to get to a level where I can win against a childhood friend who was a chess protegy.
