Lobster pincer

An extremely complicated but yet rewarding chess move, where a player successfully checks the enemy player's king and forces checkmate in the next move. The tactic must have two offensive attackers (i.e a queen and a pawn) that together synergize into a victory. The move is developed by chess grandmaster, Félix "xQc" Lengyel, and is a part of the Bing-Bang-Boom chess philosophy with other strategies such as the wooden shield. It takes years of studying to master this phenomenal move, as not even artificial intelligence computers such AlphaZero or LeelaZero have the ability to find a counter move to the lobster pincer.
