Chess culture records
The king stepped off its home square by move 15 while it could still castle, was not in check and both queens were on. The earliest walk wins.
7 moves
The queen went right after a move Lichess marked ??: taken on the next move, not won back, and still three points down soon after. The earliest one wins.
8 moves
A real sacrifice: the piece was taken at once and the player stayed at least two points down, yet Lichess found nothing wrong with the move. The biggest gift wins.
5 points of material given
“Take your opponent into a deep dark forest”: won after the longest stretch at least three points down in material.
18 moves down
Won a long game from nothing: the eval stayed within ±1.00 through move 40, and the win came after move 60. The longest grind wins.
97 moves
Both rooks on the opponent’s second rank, eating everything; the longest stay wins.
26 moves
The king marched to its fifth rank or beyond before the endgame, with the enemy queen still on (Short–Timman, Tilburg 1991). The deepest walk wins.
6 rank reached
Collections
| Award | So far | Most in a round |
|---|---|---|
| UnderpromotionEvery promotion to a knight, bishop or rook this round. | 20 | 4 in rounds 4 and 11 |
| En PassantEvery en passant capture of the round. | 216 | 23 in rounds 2 and 3 |
| Never Play f6Ben Finegold says never push the f-pawn one square. These players did it by move 10 (f3 or …f6) and won anyway. | 109 | 15 in round 10 |
| Mate GalleryCheckmates with a name: back-rank, smothered, Anastasia’s, Arabian, hook, dovetail, Boden’s, double-bishop, double check, pawn, promotion, king move or castling. | 42 | 7 in rounds 1 and 8 |
| Family ForkA knight gave check and attacked the queen at the same time, from a square where it could not simply be taken. The ones that won the queen come first. | 84 | 11 in round 6 |
| Holy HellEn passant was on the board and the player left it alone. En passant is forced, allegedly. | 194 | 22 in round 3 |
| ShahrukhCastled with check. Timur is said to have named his son Shah Rukh after the king-and-rook move he had just played when the news of the birth arrived. | 10 | 3 in round 5 |
| Il VaticanoTwo bishops on one rank, three files apart, with two enemy pawns between them: the r/AnarchyChess cathedral. The first time for each player is listed. | 6 | 2 in round 4 |
| Poisoned PawnThe queen grabbed the b-pawn (Qxb7 or …Qxb2) by move 15. Fischer’s favourite snack; the result tells whether it was poisoned. | 58 | 9 in round 5 |
| Greek GiftThe classic bishop sacrifice on h7 (or …h2): the bishop took the pawn with check. | 80 | 11 in round 10 |
| Pawn CubeFour pawns on a 2×2 block, the r/AnarchyChess cube. The first time for each player is listed. | 3 | 1 in rounds 2, 5 and 6 |
| Pawn DiamondFour pawns around an empty square: one below, two beside, one above. The first time for each player is listed. | 5 | 1 in rounds 1, 2, 4, 9 and 10 |
| Connect FourFour or more pawns side by side on one rank beyond their starting rank. The first row of each player is listed, the longest first. | 81 | 11 in rounds 5 and 9 |
| Irish Pawn CentreThree pawns on one file, one behind the other. The first time for each player is listed. | 66 | 12 in round 2 |
| The Hard OneCheckmate with nothing but a bishop and a knight against a bare king. | 1 | 1 in round 2 |
| Photo FinishBoth sides promoted a pawn within four moves of each other. | 40 | 8 in round 11 |
| Royal CourtA third queen on the board. | 61 | 8 in round 8 |
