That's a very interesting skewer tactic that makes Waitzkin win the game. Skewers like that are very rarely seen in the endgame. white actually first promoted his pawn to a queen. Only then black did and also made a skewer on the king and queen.

Sort:
no, i think what the coach called a mistake was bringing the queen out. this is where josh offers the other kid a draw before beating him.

Well you better thank the modern 'pawn can go forward two spaces from the start instead of one space' rule. Otherwise, Josh would have not been able to make his pawn become a queen fast enough!
I love Searching for Bobby Fischer!
