        lol hey don’t u dare tell someone to quit chess, everyone learns chess at their own level and speed. You quit chess if u don’t like other people playing. your obviously a horrible sport. I hope you don’t have kids.

        8. Ke6 Qg2
        9. Qg4 Qf2+
        10. Ke4 Qe2
        11.Ke3 Qxb3+
        12 Rd3 Qxb2

        and three pawns ahead

        Typo here somewhere (besides “8.Ke6”; you obviously mean 8.Ke3): 10…Qe2? can’t be what you had in mind.

        In any event, what’s the big hurry with 6…Bxf2+? Why not just:

        6…Qxh4
        7.gxh4 Rf8

        … swapping everything and reducing to a pawn ending that even I know how to win?
