minus-square@Squareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilink2•2 years 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@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilink1•2 years 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@Squareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilink1•2 years agoI did variations where the room doesn’t take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king
minus-square@wahminglinkEnglish1•2 years agoTell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1
minus-square@Squareeyed@aussie.zonelinkfedilink1•2 years 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@wahminglinkEnglish1•2 years agoNice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
minus-square@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilink1•2 years agoI’ve been making the same mistake haha
minus-square@wahminglinkEnglish1•2 years agoGiven black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
minus-square@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zonelinkfedilink1•2 years agoNah i think you have to lose the queen to win
Once white loses their queen, a mate is impossible

The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2

Doh I’m an idiot, missed Re4 somehow
Nice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King

Sorry last one should be Ne2#
Nah thats not true
Given black still has pieces, in this case it probably is

Yeah looks like Squareeyed found it
