Hello, team! I just thought I would share a Chess moment concerning a team mate of mine.In an over the board 35 moves in 75 minutes game.I wandered over to watch my friends match.After the following position was reached his opponent having just played Kh8 offered a draw,my pal agreed without really giving it much thought,big mistake! Chess blindness and/or carelessness can affect all of us at one time or another.The Moral of the story=Look before you leap.Use the Analyze The Board option before you commit your self.Can you see why he was wrong to accept the draw? Good luck. Cappa-Albie.

No need to resign.
Seeing the fork 1...Kd5 2.Ne7+ Black resigned,but after 2...Ke4 3.Nxc8. f3+ 4.Kf2(otherwise a counter fork)Bh4+ 5.Kg1 f2+ 6.Kh2 f1Q he would have won,his king will escape the checks and he will mate White soon.

Early resignation
It looks like white should take the pawn on f7 with his rook, discovered check. The king moves to g8. Rook back to g7, check. King back to h8. Rook to e7, discovered check and wins the queen.
