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

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.

so you have ended the game with your friend here?

hahahaha level 10 shocked

you try oh. That means you would have lost many times if you didn't take back grin

Really? strange anyways i have challenged you

@usermane
see i know how you feel. To have so much pain that you feel like the floor should just open and swallow you up.

One of the ways you can relieve yourself of this pain is to talk to someone about this. You cant keep on carry all this at heart it is not healthy at all.

Also stop beating yourself up, losses happen, failures happen that doesn't mean life is over.

learn to appreciate the good things you have presently and try to get something doing, focus on something you love.

wishing you all the best

hensben:
face reality and stop sounding like a 6 year old kid.

pls spare me that trash

what silly reality? Did you even read what she wrote?

if you want to wash your spouse clothes do it because you love them, not because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO OR YOU ARE COMMANDED TO. So if the guy wants to wash his gf clothes there is no big deal and if he doesn't no big deal as well and the same with the ladies. If they decide to wash together no problem as long as they are doing it for the love they feel for each other not because of one silly stereotype somewhere

It depends on the two individuals involved.

Gloria3389:
there is Nothing wrong in washing your boyfriend clothes even when he's alright...but it will wrong for a guy(be if boyfriend or husband ) to wash his girl's clothes when She's is perfectly alright....u mean he'll be washing your clothes while u will be playing or what?

it's highly disrespectful if u are perfectly OK(u are neither ill nor busy) and asking him to wash.

i really don't get the idea behind your post.

so it is not disrespectful telling his gf to wash his clothes when he is not busy but it is highly disrespectful telling him to help wash his gf's clothes when she is not busy?

Why the double standards? undecided

The king captures the way it moves true but it cant capture a piece that is being protected by another piece.

The first picture the king can take this piece, now note the the king is under Attack by the rook i.e In CHECK. the king has to move or he takes the piece.

The second pic is a bit complex now has the same dark square bishop is protecting the rook, the king CAN'T CAPTURE because capturing will just put him under another attack so it i better for him to move to a square that is not under attack.

Gaming › Re: Chess Basics For Beginners by joywendy(op): 10:09am On Feb 21, 2015

Good morning everyone

Now to continue our lesson of yesterday cheesy

A player must not make any move that would place his king in check. Apart from being limited by pieces to move, The king can also be limited if the opponents pieces are attacking a particular or some squares i.e The King must NEVER move on to a square that is being attacked by the opponents pieces because it will put the king in CHECK.
When we say 'attacking a square' it refers to the squares that a piece can move to that can put other pieces in danger if not properly protected.

Now this photo below will describe what has been said here, now there are two squares marked x. why are they marked? The dark square bishop as we remember moves diagonally on a dark square and it is attacking those squares that are marked 'x' so in chess it is impossible for the king to move to those squares that are under attack by the dark square bishop.

Ok I will surely try to win chess on computer.Ok I will surely try to win chess on computer.

i also advise that you play more with humans than computers. cause this computers are programmed in different levels. it would get to a point that you will begin to get frustrated because of your inability to win and instead of you trying to learn from your mistakes, you don't cause you are just focus on defeating the computer which has already been programmed to 'win'

Comparing the two is like comparing the Sun and Moon.
The Nigerian church is one of the very few things RIGHT about Nigeria- Hate it or love it

No matter how hard people from the other side of the divide try to polarise the church - The relative PEACE prevalent in the church is why Nigeria is still together as one nation
And trust me, I can pay anything to have such peace and manage the politics involved

@bold please let be frank with ourselves which PEACE are you talking of? if there is relative peace like you say why the different denominations? why the hatred between people of different denominations? why the different doctrines?
peace in the church ko peace in the church ni angry

A house that is divided against itself cannot stand. A house that is divided has no peace. The same thing with the country Nigeria, we are divided as a country. Tribalism, ethnic rivalry, bomb blasts here and there etc and you are saying we are one nation?

6. THE KING

FINALLY! ladies and gentlemen i introduce to you. The don of the game, the one yes the almighty one, The one we are all here today for, without him there is no chess. Our royal majesty THE KING cheesy

The king is the MOST IMPORTANT piece on board. The king is easily recognized with a small cross on top of his head i.e a '+' sign. Each player has a king on board and it usually stands close to his lovely queen.

It can NEVER BE CAPTURED i.e THE KING NEVER LEAVES THE BOARD and if it is in danger then it must be made safe immediately. If it is not possible to make the King safe then the game is lost. So all the pieces on board are just there to protect the king and keep him safe.

When a king is under direct attack by one, two of the opponent's pieces, the player is said to be in CHECK. When in check, only moves that remove the king from attack are allowed. A player must not make any move that would place his king in check.

The object of the game is to CHECKMATE the opponent's King. This happens when the opponent's king is in check, and there are no moves that remove the king from attack. i.e the king is under attack and has no place to run to for safety or has no piece to block/remove this attack.

One would expect that has king he should be better than the rest. please wake up from your dreams grin

Ask yourself why do presidents have body guards? why cant they just walk around free like all of us? Let them try it if haters won't shot them down grin

. The king being the most important is one of the weakest pieces after the pawn when it comes to movement so he needs 15 people to guard him.

So how does this piece move?
like husband like wife The king moves the same way the queen moves but like the pawn one square at a time. Very cool headed and doesn't like trouble. He moves in a BOX format, taking it one step at a time in any direction. Unlike the queen the king's movement is limited to one square at a time forward, backwards and sideways. He captures the way it moves.

THE KING CAN ONLY MOVE TWO STEPS ONCE IN A GAME WITH A SPECIAL MOVE CALLED "CASTLING" WHICH IS DONE WITH THE ROOK. THIS WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT LESSON

The pic below shows his movement

the 2nd shows the king with his pawns

To be continued..........
