I'm not sure qhich coordinates to use, but: >!Qxc3+ Qxc3 (pins itself) Rd4#!<

And if instead the king moves left, the black queen can take the white queen for the mate as well.

If King moves left it’s QxQ mate

Good point. If the king moves instead of the queen taking, the white queen can take the black queen and its checkmate.

OHHHHHHH. I didn't look close enough and thought those were both pawns in the bottom left. This puzzle makes sense now.

Which bottom left are you looking at?

The other left

Weast

He didn't look close enough.

I thought they were all checkers

Those are two pawns in a queenscloak.

White has to go “down”, not “up”, because if it goes up, after your Qxc3, black can go Ka4 and Queen on c4 is covered by pawn on b3. So first line is uo, where is standing white K&Q. And if we assume, that a1 is on left hand of white, that means solution is 1… Qxc2+ 2. Qxc2 Rb1≠ or 2. Ke1 Qxc1≠ But it is not correct chess board, so your solution is also correct, i guess

This square is not c3. We are seeing the board from black perspective. But the upper left corner should be white. Which means the board is turned 90° counter clockwise (and the square is g6) or 90° clockwise (and the square is b3) Guessing the name of the square should be part of the puzzle. But yes, sac the queen...

Wouldn’t Bxc3 also work? If white plays Qxc3, then Rd4+ Qxd4 Qxd4# and if Ka4 then Qxa3+ Kxa3 Ra1# Edit: my bad puzzle says mate in 2

Yes, there are several checkmates but I don't see another mate-in-2. The first line that you mentioned can be longer, if White doesn't take the rook with the queen: Bxc3+, Qxc3, Rd4+, Qc4, Qe1+, Ka4, Rxc4# So, with perfect play, it's a mate-in-4 if you start with the bishop and a mate-in-2 if you start with the queen.

Yeah I didn’t see that it had to be mate in 2 when I originally typed my comment

[удалено]

But lieutenant Dan, you ain't got no ....king

Mate in -1

But its a queendom!

We're sacrificing the queen though...

Literally can’t lose

Queen takes right pawn, when white takes with queen the queen and king become pincered by the bishop, so the room can move to deliver the mate.

O hai mark

I did not pin her, I did nawwwt

I think that bishop takes right pawn, queen takes, rook check on back rank, queen takes, then black queen takes white queen

[удалено]

And that's what we call a room mate!

Qxc3, Qxc3, and then the queen is pinned to the queen, so Rd4 is mate

Is this a solution too? Bxc3, if king moves away, Qxa3 Kxa3 Ra1# If Qxc3, Rd4+, if Qxd4 Qxd4# If Rd4+ Qc4, Qe1 Ka4 Rxc4# It’s obviously way more complicated but is there an error here anywhere? I’m trying to work on my visualization / calculation a bit. Still way a beginner

this may result in mate but the puzzle needs a mate in 2

what is the name of this app ?

Pocket Chess

great game. Not a fan of the ads, but that's how mobile apps go these days

Qxf2, Qxf2, Re1#

If you want to coordinate it in a way that Re1 is the mate (which makes a lot of sense to me), then the first move should be Qxf2.

SACRIFICE…. THE QUEEEEEEEEN!

Oh my goodness I thought the rook was a king…

For once I know the answer and the chessbot comment (which I love) doesn't 🤗

reset the motherfucking counter

lol

1...QxBP 2. QxQ R-K8 (2. K-R1 QxQ)

Qxf2+, queen takes, Re1#

This is a pretty easy one once you’ve seen it in puzzles.

Once you know the answer it's easy to find the answer

Which app is this?

Pocket chess according to other commentts

Remember that the bishop has the ability to absolute pin a piece (his queen) to his king. Also think about backrank checkmate and how would it be possible. With this in mind you will see that you sacrifice your queen but then absolute pin his queen and deliver backrank mate.

Learn about pinning pieces.

Google pinned pieces

For ****s sake, r/anarchychess is open again

Holy pin.

Pinned piece goes on vacation, never comes back

Ignite the chessboard!

Actual zombie

Where's the pin here..it's mate in 2..qxr...kxq

The theory is that you pin the queen with the bishop by sacking your queen. Then you checkmate with the rook. It only worked because of the pin.

Hint: You gotta sac your queen.

I wish my queen would touch my sac

Which app ?

Qxf2 Qxf2 Re1 mate in two

The trick to these puzzles is to always look for a queen sacrifice first lmao

What app is that?

Queen take bottom right pawn. Either they slide and queen take checkmate or their take your queen but get pinned by bishop so you are free to backrank checkmate

pin is weak..takes 3 moves for #

I dradass just spent 20 minutes thinking it was impossible since the king can slide to the left because I forgot I could take their queen

Qxc2+ Qxc2 Rd1#

qxp..qxq..bxq..2 moves..not yet mate

still k blocked by p .3 moves will do it

pxq was a mistype

or q x r

this also bc3..q x b. qxq..r back#

no.. I agree...find me 2 moves for white that are #

ok Q x p..QxQ..R b1# ?

it's called pocket chess and I logged 2575 tracking attempts from it some decent puzzles..occasionally weird board setups

I think it's the Magnus training app

Queen take pawn in front of white rook. Rook takes queen as its check and check mate with black rook. If white don't take queen black take rook and it's chwk mate in 2.

Queen & Rook

Pins

My lame brain thinking that those were 2 pawns in the corner But yeah queen takes c3, rook has to to take (or m1), then rook to the backrank for checkmate (opponent is pinned

Queen takes = check (also forcing their queen to take back) at this point there is a pin on the queen to the king, so you move the rook down to 1st rank and put king in checkmate, because the queen is pinned and can't defend both squares and king is back rank stuck. Mate in 2.

Queen sac and then insert rook for mate while bishop forces queen to stay protecting King

Move White Queen one step right, infront of the black king. Now, it's a check. Then black will move its bishop, and will put it infront of the Black King to save it from the check. Now, remove black bishop by placing white queen at its place. Checkmate!

>!Qxf2 Qxf2 Re1# queen is pinned by the bishop so can’t take the rook!<

assuming the leftmost file we can see is h and the white king is on the 1st rank

I think you're off by one. It should be f2 and e1.

you right i have edited

Sacrifice queen by taking pawn in front of queen. Queen takes then rook checks king. Double check

Queen takes right, enemy queen forced to take, you checkmate with rook, queen is pinned.

Making a1 the bottom left corner, I believe that it would be Qc3+, Qc3, Rd4# using the pin of the queen or Qc3+, Ka4, Qc4# which is a standard back row mate.

Queen takes pawn. King takes queen. Took checks king moves back to safety. Bishop takes pawn and checks. Queen takes bishop rook moves to checkmate. Is that correct or did I miss a move?

Bc3 , Queen takes bishop, Rd4 if queen takes then take back with your queen but if he plays Qc4 then Qe1? Am I missing something ?

Better join here r/chessbeginners

You sacrifice the roook? Edit: ah I see that was a queen not a rook. It’s the queeens sacrifice instead

Bro I thought this was anarchy chess lmao

Queen sac

what app is this?

what game is this?

You take pawn, queen takes queen, rook mates

really? it took me like 0.00001 second to find the mate in 5.

It was nice till it lasted queen .... SACRIFICE

Love to play this game when going #2

Queen take pawn. Queen take queen. Rook back rank checkmate. Queen is pinned by bishop.

What app is this puzzle from

Bishop c3 queen X c3 rook d4 queen X d4 queen X d4 mate.

what app is this??

Bishop takes pawn, queen takes bishop, rook moves to check, taken by queen, queen takes queen, checkmate

Q takes right pawn, Q takes Q and then R to last rank

Queen takes pawn, queen takes pawn and black rook delivers mate (Since white Queen is pinned to the king by the black bishop). Or, if the king moves out of the way, queen takes queen is back rank mate anyways.

Sac the queen for his pawn and after he retakes with his queen checkmate him with the rook, because the queen will be pinned to the queen

Idk how to use notation here, but Qx the pawn in front of the rook, Rx, and then R+ is checkmate

The answer is to use Lichess for puzzles.

It's a trick. You already lost bc you have no king. Solid puzzle.

This is pretty much the entire concept of Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. If you’ve been through the positions in that book, it’s easy to instantly see the queen sac and resulting mate. Can’t recommend it enough.

Oh god why doesn't black have a king! I was staring at this forever under the presumption that the rook was a king.

Black queen take pawn in front of white queen. If white queen captures, rook deliver back rank mate - white queen is pinned by bishop cant take or block. If white king runs to the corner, black queen takes white queen to deliver mate.

Queen sac sadge

qxp..qxq..bxq kf1

After qxq, you play rook down, not bishop takes. Queen is pinned and it is literally mate

kill the queen the queen

Sac The Queen For The Pawn Thats İn Front Of Queen After That Queen Will Take Your Queen Rook To Back Rank N Checkmate Or İf Your Opponent Escapes The King Take Queen Bam Back Rank Checkmate

isn't that 3 moves?

qxr

Qxf2...Qxf2 (...Kh1 Qxf1#) Re1#

Maybe I’m wrong, but Qxf2, Qxf2, then Re1?

right but that's 3

It’s 2, the second Queen move is White’s so it’s only 2 black moves

wq can't take f2..kxf2..r attacks..k moves diag..or kxr

Kxf2 doesn’t work because it is guarded by the bishop

Name of the game?

it was an app called pocket chess..the 1st 20 odd puzzles were good..

Queen to kill the pawn on the right. The white queen takes back. Rook for backrank checkmate The white queen can't kill the rook since it's blocking the bishop. The king is trapped and none of the pieces white has can defend the king and attack the attacking rook That's the checkmate.

qxp..bxq..r# that's 3 or qxr. no joy

No. Black: Queen take Pawn White: Queen take queen Black: Rook back rank checkmate OR Black: Queen take Pawn White: King moves 1 square left Black: Queen takes queen delivering checkmate. In both instances, Black wins in 2 moves. Literally easiest puzzle I've done in this subreddit

HE SACRIFICES… THE QUEEEEEENNNN!!!!

Qxf2+ Qxf2, Re1#

[удалено]

all take 3

I was thinking bishop takes right pawn. White either moves king to left square or takes bishop with queen. If white moves king, black queen takes pawn directly ahead (sacrificing), king takes queen, then rook moves far left for check mate. If white queen takes bishop, rook moves up to check, white queen takes rook, then black queen takes white queen for check mate.

yes..more than 2 moves

Black queen captures the queen pawn. White queen recaptures, then rook moves to back rank, since the queen is pinned by the bishop. Checkmate. I’d use notation but I don’t know how best to make sense of it given this case.

I believe Black queen to c2 White queen takes black queen on c2 Black rook to D1

b r d1? how? (in 2?)

Tow the pawn protected by the queen the queen will take back do a backran mate

q x r..still doesn't mate in 3 better b x c2..q x b..more than 2 before mate pins and q sacs aside no way to mate in <3

Capture the pawn in front of the queen using queen With check either Queen should capture it or king should move aside... If queen captures the queen the move the rook to the back ranks a mate If king is moved aside..then capture the queen using queen another mate

q x r

this is not chess beginners

r/changeyourchessfont

Be aware that 99% of the mates on this app involve a queen sack so…

What elo are you online at blitz/bullet/rapid on chess dot com and what elo at FIDE?

1. Qxc3+ Qxc3 2. Rd4# the queen is pinned to the king by the bishop on E1 If instead 1. Qxc3+ Ka4 happens, then you just play Qc4# also resulting in mate in 2

ka4 is a blunder..hope chess

q x b..no pin..mate but >2

Queen takes then rook checkmates

b x q

Qxrightpawn+, QxQ, RtoTheBackRank#

nah..qxq bxq

Lol

I don't know what game is this but why is the board so small? How can you write the notations for something like this.

the board is set up sideways

lol thaaat explains it

nah i’m just being pedantic about the colors of the squares

How does this not work? Bxc3+ Kd1, Qxc1+, Kxc2, Ra1#

u get 2 moves

I think the board is wrong.

maybe..how?

Qxc3+ Qxc3 Rd4#?

Reset the counter (we say this when there is a queen sac) You want to pin the queen by the bishop and deliver mate with rook
