wayyyyyyyy too much sacrifice. still amazing what a pinned piece can do! (the rook on g2)
Yeah the pinned rook is cool. If you think about it, and the rules of chess were different, the black king could take the pawn, and the rook wouldn’t be able to capture the king…
if it were black to move, he’d have a forced mate in two too. Qf1+ Kh2 Qxg2#
Even if the Black King is allowed to take the pawn on g7 the pinned Rook takes the BlackKing before the Black Bishop can take the White King heh heh
