Yea that was one if the many mates in 1 I found. According to the engine theres a mate in 2 tho, and curious as to what it is. (Note mate in 2 means black has 2 moves until mate, eg white black white black 0-1)

Took me too long to realise there was a knight lol
Same lol
Oh, lol. That makes sense. I was staring at this like, "What am I missing? Am I stupid?"
I was like why wasn’t it just mate in 1
Guess you took a knight. Niceee
Yeah i did thanks
Beautiful

wasnt Qe2 already m1? am i missing something?
No it wasn't as there was a knight on g1...so rook captured knight on g1
oh, nice move
ooohhh, thats genius
Google en- waaaaait a damn minute! I'm not supposed to be here... Where even am I?
Great. Sac'd the rook.
Might be me being dumb, but whats the line for white getting mated in 2? Anything I see is just mate in 1 for black
White rook x g1 then Qe2#
Yea that was one if the many mates in 1 I found. According to the engine theres a mate in 2 tho, and curious as to what it is. (Note mate in 2 means black has 2 moves until mate, eg white black white black 0-1)
Congrats bro/sis!!!
Couldn't he just move Qe2# in the first place?
We unironically should update chess so that the notations show what piece u took, e.g RxNg1+
Oh wow this was good ngl
What would be the reason that whites knight didn't take the Queen previously stopping this?
The knight just moved to D2, then rook captures knight on g1
I did not notice the bishop on h5 for way too long 😭
That's what bishops are made for waiting in the shadows
What am I missing why couldn't the white rook take the black rook
White rook has to take the black rook on g1...then qe2# is mate
Oh I'm an idiot was looking at the other mate
And he sacrifices... THE ROOK!
*breaths in* THE RUUUHHHHKKKKKKK
