1. Nf3 Bxf3 2. Qxf3#

Nf3 is not a forceful move, thus black can bring in more reinforcements or retreat.

Guys abeg, a little patience. First, i don't think we are in the same time zones. Second, chess can take as long as possible, so far as both players have an understanding of the game. I know chess games that have been played for years! But abeg, I'm not saying dablazor and I will play for years.
Nevertheless give us some time.

Joywendy, I'd also love to start a game with you if you don't mind. Table 2. I'd like to see your chess.

Wanna play white or black?

Tor, its up to ur opponent to decide. Am simply a spectator.

Dont be confused. smiley

in chess notation the first move is usually the white then followed by the black. so when recording it, in the first move you record whites move first then record black first move next and like that like that.

when i said 1. Nf3 Bxf3

i meant white played N stands for knight, Knight to f3

x(means takes or capture)

Bxf3 means black played B Stands for bishop. bishop captures the piece on f3.

the # sign means checkmate

Q stands for queen

2. Qxf3# means queen takes piece on f3 and mates king

babes you are moving faster than your shadow tongue grin

haba no nah i was kidding now.

lol! it's not just in online chess it is used also in real life chess well. It's often used so that when you end your game you can use the notations to replay the game you just ended. so you can leave a game half way and come back another day and continued from where you stopped if it is properly recorded and written.

you can participate smiley

K stands for king

R for rook

we don't use any letter for the pawn just note where the the square the pawn is on.

I believe the black king is on checkmate already, the piece on h5 (that is a bald headed pawn right, lol) should have him captured.

Actually finished the game already. Tried different variations, but could only win after playing a3. Yet i don't seem to think a3 is good enough.

Saw the puzzle online and not so sure about the actual answer, but i think f7 is the move. After f7, black can only play g4. If ...Kg7, then f8 with a queen checkmate.
If after f7, Kxh5. Then Rxh7#. Checkmate.
If after f7, then black plays g4. Then mate in two after getting a queen at f8.

It's a stupid puzzle sef. I had googled "tough chess puzzles" and thought I'd come up with something to challenge you.


On the game against computer level 10? I won, but only after taking back like 200 times grin

I tried to challenge you on chess.com. It says you ain't accepting challenges right now.

lolz not stupid it is a nice puzzle. Though quite annoying. you know it is not possible for black to win in this situation.

Yeah, certainly not possible for black to win. But a mistake by white can earn black a stalemate, i.e picking the pawn on g5.

Let's try play a game here, if u can.

Meanwhile, I'll meet you up on chess.com
