laughing pretty hard at this blitz game where after ...c4 my opponent offered a draw. when i rejected it he messaged me going "bro you can't make a queen it's a draw" so I proceeded to take the c4 pawn, march my c-pawn down the board, make a queen, and checkmate him with it

after ...c4, when my opponent, with a heavy material disadvantage, tried to convince me the position was a draw maybe fifteen moves later when ive checkmated them

I'm not a chess guy but even I can tell how straightforward it would be to make a queen here? lol

the position looks drawish to me without the rook and the knight, but the rook and the knight are right there!

yeah exactly! it's easy to unblock that pawn and keep it safe from the only piece that could get at it
