I had another good game with a dear friend of mine. Here's the lesson: Keep going, no matter how bad things look. https://www.chess.com/game/daily/338024255 We played 70 moves until checkmate. A key moment was move 14 with Nb4, which my opponent commented on with a compliment. With move 23 Qf2+ I had finally discovered a pinhole in our once again super knot. My opponent again called move 14 a key moment. With move 30 Qxa5 the pinning of my queen with 33 Re8 already announced itself. I'm still not sure whether I could have saved the queen. I had feared it before, because I only saw it when I had already placed the king on e3. And now I wanted to protect my knight and hoped to get away with the queen all the same. Anyway, the queen left with complete loyalty to her king (see picture). After I drew 41 Nf5, I had discovered and feared that my opponent might draw 41 Qe4+. But he only discovered this when he had already taken the pawn sacrifice with 41 Qxg5. By move 69 my opponent had finally overlooked the fact that his king was hypnotised and standing face to face with mine and was thus lost.
