minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoNo that’s no good either, then castle comes to check
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoHang on im still onto it. New plan Bc6 Rb1 checking king Kd2 Rb2 checking King Kc1 Rook must leave or be taken. Anywhere doesnt matter. Qg2 checkmate
minus-squareBonifratz@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoRight, but what about 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Kd2 Rxh1?
minus-squareSquareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoBc6, Rb1, Ke2, RxH1, BxH1, Pg2, Nf4, Kg3/h4, Nxg2. That’s as far as I’ve gotten
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoOnce white loses their queen, a mate is impossible
minus-squareSquareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoGot a modification on it. I think it works… Bc6, Rb1, Ke2, Rxh1, Bg2+,Kxg2,Nf4+,Kg1,Ke1,Pg2,Ke2# ? I dunno if my logic is right, but pretty sure that might be it, been fiddling moves for a while…
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYeah that’s the same answer i got. I think that’s the best way. But I’m by no means an expert
minus-squareSquareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI did variations where the room doesn’t take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI’ve been making the same mistake haha
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoGiven black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoNah i think you have to lose the queen to win
minus-squareAussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years ago Bc6 Rb1+ Ke2 Rxh1 3.Bg2+ Kxg2 4.NF4+ Kg1 5.Ne1 G2 Hows that 6.Ne2# Edit K for knight to N
minus-squarefosforus@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years agoAfter which horsie nom noms castle, checks king and black is generally speaking fucked. But that doesn’t seem as neat as what they’re looking for here.
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 years agoHow does horse take castle? Castle is on b1, free queen
minus-squarefosforus@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoOh lol oops. I thought you meant rook to f4 :) Yeah I’m not amazing at chess.
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 years agoNvm, turns out that free queen is actually the bait for a checkmate
No that’s no good either, then castle comes to check
