I have mentioned before that
Gerald Abrahams wrote in his book, The Chess Mind, that the smallest unit in a chess game was not the move, but the idea.
However, experience has shown that not all ideas are created equal. This is true in chess, as illustrated in the following blitz game.
joca552000 - VCoder18
8 0 blitz, lichess.org, 2023
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxe5 Bf8
8.Qxh8 h6
With thoughts about trapping and then executing the enemy Queen.
9.Qc3 Bg7
The Bishop takes its rightful place at g7, but the Queen has escaped.
White is up the exchange and a couple of pawns, and that gives Black another idea.
Black resigned
