learn how classic things like the queens dance can come in handy
👑The Queens' dance👑
This was a puzzle taught to me by @nicolidus. It involves a pawn one move away from promotion, you have to get your king to the pawn so that you can take it. To do this you must get the opponents king in front of their pawn blocking from promoting.
Now here’s one of my games, if you’ve seen my blog you’ll recognize it from “my best bullet games”. But that’s not the point, you see on move #72 there was only one more pawn and I couldn't take it with just my queen, although it was nowhere close to promoting itself it was still helpful to know what to do.

🐷Pigs on the 7th (or 2nd)🐷
This one I was able to use a lot more than the queens’ dance, mainly for mates, but here is one of my more notable games.

As you can see I have both of my rooks on the 7th checkmating the king, I got the rooks there a few moves earlier and thanks to blunders I was able to pull off mate. There were a few times on move #23 where I could have mated the king that I didn’t see.
Thank you!
