I NEEDED 8 DAYS AND 8 NIGHTS…
8 MOVES EVERY DAY AND 8 MOVES EVERY NIGHT

AND THEN WHEN I HAD 8 PIECES LEFT ON THE 8TH DAY

I beated the world champion before he became the champion.
Look at the positions! Magnus is the owner of the white king.
They say he plays better with the black’s… In this game I did.

The challenge here was to finish the game with two and three queens without putting him into stalemate, since he had only the king left on the board.

This is Merriam-Websters definition of stalemate:
A drawing position in chess in which a player is not in checkmate but has no legal move to play

In chess 8 pieces are stronger than one. The world will get stronger with a new day in the calendar. A perfect day for a chess game.

HELP MAKE OUR PLANET STRONG AGAIN!

Enjoy the 8th day… Hope you still take good care.

You might know me, but you don’t. I got wet in the rain, but now always soaked. I thought a lot. High thoughts and also loud and clear.
