The best swindles

Hello,

I don't know if this topic gives away my slightly poor chess etiquette, but I've always loved a good swindle - when you've lost, but you put in a few tricks to salvage a draw or win from your opponent's mistake.

For the one here, I blundered away a small advantage (I thought I was running out of time; I forgot it was a weird time control), and was about to resign. Then he played ...f3, and I figured he wouldn't be able to resist ...Rg2+ (give a check, it might be mate!) - taking my queen was the icing on the cake...!

Would love to see some more :)

That was a pretty safe ! nice one :)

Today (after a long while without playing bullet) I decided to do some games.
One of them has exactly what you are telling:

I was playing really fast and I blundered my Queen; and after that I was in serious problems;
But he blunder thinking he had mate but I had my rock protecting it.

He had checkmate in 6 and then I start to win (I had chekmate too later but it was a fast game and I didn't have time to see it.

Nothing amazing - this was against a lower rated player, but it's a classic... http://en.lichess.org/MxN0838x/black#32

I enjoy the games that are "sneaky." I try not to make a habit of it (bad practice), but it's rather satisfying.

I should have lost this game:

I feel really bad for this guy… I was having a bad day and played simply terrible. But he made a blunder in the end and his advantage turned from +10 to Mate in 1…
Ouch.

(Yes, it was strangely satisfying.)

Those two are particularly nasty! I love the slight feeling of hope when your opponent has their king in a tight spot. Then you try and tempt them with pinning your knight (as in the last example). Although I don't think I would ever have played ...Kf6 in that last game above.

This one was a particularly nasty con job, especially since I thought I'd managed to rightly fumble the game twice:

Feels like a swindle winning this one, but was really my opponent grabbing defeat from the claws of victory.

(the chat make me laugh too - so many times i was about to resign)

great game mistro, who can hold back the temptation to snap the opponents queen of the board?? is it humanely possible?
