minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoOnce white loses their queen, a mate is impossible
minus-squareSquareeyedlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year 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-squareAussiemandeuslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah that’s the same answer i got. I think that’s the best way. But I’m by no means an expert
minus-squareSquareeyedlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI did variations where the room doesn’t take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoTell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1
minus-squareSquareeyedlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year 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-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoDoh I’m an idiot, missed Re4 somehow
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoGiven black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
minus-squareAussiemandeuslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNah i think you have to lose the queen to win
minus-squarewahming@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah looks like Squareeyed found it

Sorry last one should be Ne2#

The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2

I’ve been making the same mistake haha
Nah thats not true
