solution

1... Qxg2 2. Kxg2 Nf4+ 3. Kg1 Nh3#? Nice queen sacrifice

Sorry for the ignorance but I'm not familiar with the shorthand. What is Nf4+ & Nh3#

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

N = Knight, F4 = square moved to, + = opponent King in check, # = Opponent King in Checkmate

Wouldn't the bishop just take the knight?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The king is in check so that isn't an option.

I overlooked the black bishop in that play. My mistake!

Double check!
