  1. Bc6 Rb1+

  2. Ke2 Rxh1

3.Bg2+ Kxg2

4.Nf4+ Kg1

5.Ke1 G2

6.Ne2#

Edit K for knight to N

It appears I'm an idiot too

I'm very new to chess annotation and i keep using k for knight and king.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

I think it's meant to be Ke1 G2 as Ne1 is an illegal move but that's just a notation issue

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah it was very late i was meant to be asleep not playing chess puzzles knight starts with a k haha

[-] Bonifratz@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

Nicely done! You solved the main (study) line. There's other lines where Black actually holds out longer, but they're much simpler to calculate.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 2 points 10 months ago

What happens if black declines the queen? Too lazy to calculate it out at this point

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Anything it seems. But I'm probably missing a lot

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 2 points 10 months ago

It seems to be open ended if black doesn't take queen, though

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Bishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn't check the king.

If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn't check the king ending the game

It gets all very messy if black doesn't take the bate it seems

[-] Bonifratz@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn't have anything but spite checks. And if ...g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).

What's interesting is if black moves to Rf4 and ignores the queen i see how it gets very open ended

After 4. Nf4+, wouldn't it be better for the king to go to f3? Or am I overlooking something obvious

Edit: answered my own question, white king covers f3 after moving to e2, forgot about that
