In the 5th move, RuyLopez1000 played Kf1. RuyLopez1000 told me that Kf1 was a mouseslip.

Now, imagine that you are Black!! What will you play after touching the King??

Black now is having -0.8!!
But in the real game, an7cplayingchess played... Kf8?, a move that makes the game even again!! From -0.9 down to +0.3, and after seeing the whole game, RuyLopez1000 won!!

🙏Lessons!!🙏

So what do we learn today?? 🤔
Copying chess moves can teach you many things, but if you aren't careful, you will be in danger, and then easily lose!! Chess is for people who want to think themselves, not the kind of lazy-thinking guys!! Understand??
