I think black would be pretty screwed no matter what move they made.

If the dark lord plays g3 he could maybe stal for time until the courage of men fails.
G3? How would that work
prevents sauron from falling immediately when they reach mount doom.
it's the gollum gambit.
Receipt there's no piece on black that can reach G3
it's the g2 pawn that goes to g3, allowing sauron to move in mordor.
Black has no G2 pawn, just a g7 one
G6 ?
Don't get me wrong, I like the movie, but I still don't understand the bit where Frodo and Sam meet Sauron's entire army in battle, facing tens of thousands of orcs, Haradrim and Easterlings, trolls, and the Nazgûl themselves, and somehow winning, only to have a volcano fall on them at the last minute.
Mt doom erupted, all the lava lands on Frodo and Sam, destroying the one ring. Then the "diversion" team goes in for check and then checkmate on Sauron after killing mount doom
It's all in the simulacrum
The meme would work better if white would be in imminent checkmate unless black did the boneheaded thing.
Change the white rook to a pawn on C7.
Black to play.
How about the eagles?
