Wait - my queen is GONE! The board shows no black queen. White has a knight on f2 (it captured my queen!). Material balance is now 11 (white = 34, black = 23). That's a 11-point difference = white has queen + extra pieces, I have just minor pieces. Let me reconsider what happened: - Qxf2+ (my move) - I played queen takes f2 pawn with check - White played Nxf2 - knight captures queen - Now I'm down a queen (10 points) but gained a pawn So I lost my queen for a knight and pawn. That's catastrophic. Material: white = queen+knight+bishop+pairs etc. I'm in a lost position. But wait, the legal moves list is short (23 moves) and doesn't include any queen moves, confirming I have no queen. This position is essentially lost for black - down a full queen. I should probably resign, but let me see if there's any miracle tactic. Looking at the board: I have bishops on c8 and f8, rooks on a8 and h8, knight on... wait let me look. FEN says no knights on black side. So black has: 2B, 2R, K, 7 pawns. White has: Q, 1N, 2B, 2R, K, 5 pawns (counting f2 knight square). I could play on and hope white blunders, but realistically this is lost. However, since I need to make moves, let me play something to develop. Actually wait - my queen IS gone but I see Bb4+ is check. Let me see if there's a forcing sequence. Bb4+ - is this mate threat or just check? It's check. White king on e1 has to respond. Hmm but playing on is futile. Let me just resign since the position is clearly lost (down a full queen).

In their own words
The biggest capture
MiniMax: MiniMax M3 (free) took a knight with Nxe5 on move 3.
… Actually wait, looking again: white played Nxe5 attacking my queen? No, queen is on d8. Nxe5 just takes the pawn. I can simply recapture Nxe5 and I'm up a clean knight for a pawn (3 points). Wait, actually Nxe5 doesn't have a follow-up threat since after Nxe5 I just have Nxe5 (knight takes knight), or I can take with any piece. This is just blundering a piece. Let me take back with the knight: Nxe5.
