I have been struggling with mental health and concentration, but lately I found a new love. Chess. I have been playing for six months, I am not that good, but yesterday I got my second brilliant move ever. I am quite proud.

I play chess too. I’ve never thought of it with regards to my mental health. Great move! (Pretending I understand what the play was)

One thing I have always worried about with depression is falling out of love with things I am passionate about. So the fact that I am finding new things to love is a step in the right direction.

Can you explain to a 500ELO like me why this is “!!”? If rook takes, bishop takes, and then king takes. I see the plays with the white pawn promoting too but idk why the knight is !!
