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@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 agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King

Sorry last one should be Ne2#
Yeah that’s the same answer i got.
I think that’s the best way. But I’m by no means an expert

The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2

I 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
Doh I’m an idiot, missed Re4 somehow
Nice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
I’ve been making the same mistake haha
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
