I'm pretty sure that the first thread I ever started was in BBV (since BBV4L didn't exist, natch) about a chess angleshoot I once pulled where I pretended to want to take a move back, knowing that my stickler friend wouldn't let me and would immediately make the obvious tarp play and I'd salvage a stalemate from a losing position. But I can't find that thread now.

Qg3 threatening mate at h2

h pawn cannot take Q, it is pinned by the rook.
If f pawn takes Q, Rxf1 mate.
If Qxg3 then Nxg3+, pxg3, Rxf1 mate
