Share your schwindle

"In chess, a swindle is a ruse by which a player in a losing position tricks his opponent, and thereby achieves a win or draw instead of the expected loss [1]"

Another schwindle, to encourage you posting yours as well :)

Sounds fun. Here, my plan was to draw the game with a perpetual check on the back rank. My opponent was clearly not interested in a draw. I kind of felt bad about winning this way because my opponent spent the entire game playing better than me.

My opponent thoroughly outplayed me.

Just came across this article about chess schwindles.
Your own chess schwindle could make it into a chess book written by a GM :)

This game was full of mistakes and blunders, and I deserved to lose this one for sure. However, suddenly at this point there was light at the end of the tunnel.

I managed to create this "piece of art"*:



* not really

In this game I placed pieces on the board to delay the checkmate and also to give my opponent more opportunity to blunder. To my surprise my opponent made moves that allowed me to deliver checkmate.

Absent minded blunder fest that black deserved to win, but I unexpectedly won. 5-4-3, 83 acpl.

Another obnoxious blunderfest where white did not deserve to win (4-6-4,62) but where my beloved chess knights in the end did the magic tricks once again.
