I'm still getting used to figuring out what the squares so it's nice for me when people refer to the position with the coordinates so I know what they're talking about, nice comment dude!
The good thing in pre-move is when you're up against high-rated players because you can see their possible moves but my problem is they move random pieces which just sucks
I did something slightly similar. I was in an absolutely doomed position with just a rook and he had one king escape spot to prevent backrow while he marched an invincible pawn with tons of support. So I wiggled my king around uselessly in the middle like I was either wasting time or just allowing him the win, and he didn't notice when my king slipped in and blocked his escape square and poof backrow happened.
This trickery is what he also did against Akanemsko on a tournament. He "sac" his rook but opp missed it cause of premoves, then Levy goes for the checkmate. 😂
I recently played a game, pinned the guys knight on f3 with my bishop on g4 to his queen on d1, broke up the center with some pawns, and he blundered by taking back one of my pawns with his knight, giving me his queen. Later on dxc4 happened and I was certain he would take with his bishop that was on d3, but he took with his knight standing on e5, which I had premoved to take with my bishop on f6, because if that happened he could just take with his pawn on d4. This made him just pick up my now blundered bishop. A bit later I misclicked and blundered my queen to one of his remaining knights, after which I resigned. I am 900 Elo...
I had a checkmate threat in my game last night. I had castled king side as Black. King was on G7, Bishop on F7, Rook on D7. White Knight was on F5 and a Queen was on B2 staring at my pawn on G7. If it was White’s turn, the game was over. This was a rapid game. My opponent had 5:07 on the clock when he moved his Queen to B2. I moved my Bishop from F7 and he instantly took with his Queen. He had 5:07 before the Queen move and 5:07 after. I took his Queen with the Rook, and he did not take back with the Knight, instead giving a meaningless check and pushing my king to safety in the corner. I proceeded to ladder mate the man on the side of the board using my Rooks. Prime example of why you do not pre-move most of the time, lol.
In chess, opposition (or direct opposition) is a situation in which two kings are two squares apart on the same rank or file . Since kings cannot move adjacent to each other,
