move peasant to d6, get his queen.

black can respond with 2 moves, both of which are bad:

move king and queen is taken on c7 by white (other king moves besides d8 would be worse I think)
queen takes d6, loose queen by white knight on b7.

Well done! You made your opponent so afraid of your queen that they didn't notice your pawn going in for the fork.

I thought there was a hidden joke in there but I now realize the bottom row is cropped out

Loose and lose are two different words with different meanings. Why not just use "luse"? You can be the luser. No, wait, that's too simple for complex you!

You are the lusser.

It's possible to correct someone without being an ass and insulting the person.

You should try it sometime.

I have replaced loose with take, okay with you?
