When Rook & Bishop decide to lead the army!

Hail the Rook & Bishop!

It is very rare for some players to win a chess game without their queen (At least for us common players). So, when this miracle happens everyone will be surprised. But this happened to me as well! I won a game without my QUEEN!!

My Strategy

So when I came to know that I had lost my queen, I started to make a Full-Proof Strategy that can at least give me a draw. As the game proceeded, I got the position better..better.. & better.

But, what was my strategy?

-- I decided to exchange rook for a rook & then capture the pawns. I also noticed that the King was a bit vulnerable. So, I took advantage of that & started giving checks. I also created a Fort where I blocked the checks with the bishop & advanced my Pawn. My opponent also made mistakes like me. But, in the end, I enjoyed playing the game!

Conclusion


This is very rare. I blundered my queen but didn't lose my hope. I would like to suggest to everyone that always double-check your moves to avoid such blunders. Enjoy the Game! Also, this is my First Blog so it not maybe that great so forgive me for that ;)

Thanks for Reading! Will see you at the next one :)
