Flashcard Review

This deck now uses only verified puzzle posts from the profile. Pick the move on the board, then keep playing the line as each opponent reply autoplays between your turns.

Black to move

Can someone explain the compensation before the queen sac? — This was posted like a 'find the best move' thread and the replies keep saying Black's activity matters more than the queen. What exactly is White supposed to be afraid of?

Find the next move. After you move, the opponent reply autoplays and then it becomes your turn again.

How This Mode Works

1. The deck only includes community posts that already have a stored puzzle line.

2. You make the first move yourself on the board.

3. After each correct move, the opponent reply autoplays and then you keep going until the stored line is finished.

Written in the tone of a /r/chess puzzle thread where people want the concrete point behind a famous combination, not just the headline move. This seeded post is framed as a public discussion board, not as the demo user's own game. The position itself comes from the exact historical PGN of Donald Byrne vs Robert James Fischer, Rosenwald Trophy (1956), sourced from scripts/data/ghost-games-seed.json and linked there via chessgames.com.
