my greatest chess move

Mikhail Tal said it best.  His suggestion was when one piece is hanging, make it two.

I took advantage of this with such a creepy beauty. It was like a haymaker from the side while my other pieces were encircling Black's camp. And it's not a capture or even a check, which adds to the sauciness.

My rook and knight are now both vulnerable. But taking either loses. If he takes the rook, we see the point of my knight move with Qh8# (or further moves if he sacks the queen lol which just loses all his pieces after a slaughtering sequence).

My opponent probably saw this, so he took my knight. But my knight was like a dummy on that square, making it undefended after the pawn takes. So Rxg6+ is next, Kh7, Rh6+, Kg8, and Qh8# once again. The queen is our sniper on the long diagonal (bishop is old news).

Also fun fact: my opponent told me to resign 10 moves ago after a rough-ish opening from me. I then proceeded to unleash an immortal middlegame attack with this finisher. Believe me when I say that made my day.

So yeah. Hope u all like it!
