When Opponents Blunder The Endgame - Two Epic Comebacks In Chess
2First game on Lichess I thought I was in trouble until the opponent accidentally skewered himself. Then it became a successful pawn promotion end game. Engine analysis also confirms I was in trouble until that moment. Second game on Chess.com I definitely was losing until opponent blundered twice, with me capitalizing the second time. Let's watch how these end games played out to learn about skewers and hanging pieces, as well as pawn structure. There are so many great lessons to these two chess games and how I made two comebacks. Let me know if you have a great comeback you want me to look at!
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.
