Bc6 Rb1+
Ke2 Rxh1
3.Bg2+ Kxg2
4.Nf4+ Kg1
5.Ke1 G2
6.Ne2#
Edit K for knight to N
I think it's meant to be
Ke1 G2as Ne1 is an illegal move but that's just a notation issueYeah it was very late i was meant to be asleep not playing chess puzzles knight starts with a k haha
It appears I'm an idiot too
I'm very new to chess annotation and i keep using k for knight and king.
It seems to be open ended if black doesn't take queen, though
Bishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn't check the king.
If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn't check the king ending the game
What about Rb2, Kd3, Pg2?
It gets all very messy if black doesn't take the bate it seems
In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn't have anything but spite checks. And if ...g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).
What's interesting is if black moves to Rf4 and ignores the queen i see how it gets very open ended
Nicely done! You solved the main (study) line. There's other lines where Black actually holds out longer, but they're much simpler to calculate.
What happens if black declines the queen? Too lazy to calculate it out at this point
Anything it seems. But I'm probably missing a lot
Meant to be Ke1
I fucked up the Knight and King it was 11 at night when i was doing it
No probs. Looks good. I'm a little wary of solutions that aren't forced, but this seems the most reasonable I've seen so far.
After 4. Nf4+, wouldn't it be better for the king to go to f3? Or am I overlooking something obvious
Edit: answered my own question, white king covers f3 after moving to e2, forgot about that
