He Queened First… Then Stockfish Checkmated Him! | TCEC S29 Game 35

In this dramatic battle from the TCEC Season 29 Superfinal, Reckless reaches 74.h8=Q, only to see the newly promoted queen immediately captured by 74...Rxh8. Stockfish then creates its own dangerous passed pawn, promotes with 84...d1=Q and finishes the game with a precise mating attack: 89...Qd8# Game: Reckless vs Stockfish Event: TCEC Season 29 – Superfinal, Game 35 Date: April 3, 2026 Result: 0–1 Opening: Vienna Game, Steinitz Gambit ECO: C25 Reckless: 3763 Elo Stockfish: 3807 Elo Music: “Final Move” This video features an original animation and graphical presentation of the game.
