It's a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what

That King needs a snack first though.

No, I believe it's the King. Otherwise, the movement of the pawn will create an opening for white Rook to take the pawn next turn, check King forcing movement, then Rook takes Bishop for free next turn.

Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

Oop, you're right, no I missed that one rook entirely. Guess it is a "brilly" 😂

Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.

Bro is good at planning his moves

Doesn't black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not anymore, he's in check now. As soon as he's free, yes.

A friend made me just realize that it's always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.
