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@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
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@Squareeyedlink1•7 months agoI did variations where the room doesn’t take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoTell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1
minus-square@Squareeyedlink1•7 months agoI tried that but ultimately you lose the queen and can’t stop the pawn queening. The following most likely would be Re4+, then if you move f2 it’s check, f4 you loss your queen and black queens
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•7 months agoGiven black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
Shit. Leave it with me

I’ve been making the same mistake haha
Yeah that’s the same answer i got.

The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2
Tell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1

Doh I’m an idiot, missed Re4 somehow
Sorry last one should be Ne2#
Nah thats not true
Given black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
Nah i think you have to lose the queen to win
Yeah looks like Squareeyed found it
