minus-square@Aussiemandeuslink2•edit-27 months 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-square@Squareeyedlink1•7 months agoBc6, Rb1, Ke2, RxH1, BxH1, Pg2, Nf4, Kg3/h4, Nxg2. That’s as far as I’ve gotten
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoOnce white loses their queen, a mate is impossible
minus-square@Squareeyedlink3•7 months 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-square@Aussiemandeuslink1•7 months agoYeah that’s the same answer i got. I think that’s the best way. But I’m by no means an expert
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoGiven black still has pieces, in this case it probably is

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-27 months 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-27 months agoHow does horse take castle? Castle is on b1, free queen
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoOh lol oops. I thought you meant rook to f4 :) Yeah I’m not amazing at chess.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoNvm, turns out that free queen is actually the bait for a checkmate
