Weekly Challenge 98: Botez Gambit
Win a game of Chess vs Stockfish level 2 whilst losing your Queen in your opening 3 moves.
Adjudication Criteria:
1. Fewest moves (plies)
2. Earliest Entry
Additional Clarification:
- Your Queen must be captured by the end of the 6th ply in the game (start of White's 4th move)
- You must win the game by checkmate (winning by timeout is not valid, and shouldn't happen vs Stockfish, but it could)
- You cannot use takebacks

Monday: Chess Blitz Arena: playstrategy.org/tournament/46nyoEYS
