Kalcifer @lemm.ee - 2.3yr::: spoiler solution 1... Qxg2 2. Kxg2 Nf4+ 3. Kg1 Nh3#? Nice queen sacrifice ::: 18
Squizzy @lemmy.world - 2.3yrSorry for the ignorance but I'm not familiar with the shorthand. What is Nf4+ & Nh3# 2
prayer @lemmy.world - 2.3yrN = Knight, F4 = square moved to, + = opponent King in check, # = Opponent King in Checkmate 2
z34 - 2.3yrIt is the daily puzzle posted from lichess on their mastodon account 6h ago. https://mastodon.online/@lichess/111040949263111774 5
curiousaur @reddthat.com - 2.3yrWhy not knight e3 first. White has to take it with the pawn or it's mate next turn, then queen g2 mate? 0
MellowSnow @lemmy.world - 2.3yrBecause white doesn't have to take the knight first. White can trade queens there, and then the knight is lost on the next move. 3

Wouldn't the bishop just take the knight?
The king is in check so that isn't an option.
I overlooked the black bishop in that play. My mistake!
Double check!

Why not knight e3 first. White has to take it with the pawn or it's mate next turn, then queen g2 mate?
Because white doesn't have to take the knight first. White can trade queens there, and then the knight is lost on the next move.
Right, thanks.
Also, g2 would be defended by the white queen after the f pawn takes the knight
