[fuzkforyou]

@LOVEMCEE he laged

[MrJbarry007]

friggin noobs, i got 1.Q-f8 +  with both follow ups 1...kxf8 2.Re8# and 1...kh7 2.Qxg7# of course that is because im ranked 2375 u.s.c.f. but its funny listening to ametures trying to figure it out

"Hello, my name is Sergei."

You forgot VOROJSTOV!

I do it and I understand.

[sadcommunity]

in the first case there is another way to checkmate the black king without sacrificing the queen

first move : roc to E8 , check

second move : queen to E4

plz tell me i'm correct lol

[Skiaffo]

you are wrong, because black can make 4 moves to stop the check from the queen: knight to G6, rook to G6, Queen to G6, pawn to G6. Black doesn't have much chances anyway but it's not a forced mate in 2.

[Skiaffo]

im refering to "sadcommunity" of course not to the guy in the video

[sadcommunity]

yeah it's a blunder lol

thanks man

[sauskeuchiwa]

your wrong^^

[TThewsyo]

the black rook at h6 can just side step and the check would be gone. good try. it made me think about it too

[psychicran]

@sadcommunity the pawn on g7 can block the queen's path

[yahoopig]

How do you get a suntan so quickly?

[TThewsyo]

its just the white balance

[eduonlinebh]

When white moves, what if 1 Re8+ Kh2 2 Qe4#. Is it another possibility? Am I Right???

[b0rd3mz]

No because black can block the move with Qg6.

[eduonlinebh]

Oh yeah! That's right, I didn't see. Thanks!

[chevan993]

i tought the same, but than black can just move his pawn to block check from queen

[MrLunt95]

haha i agree im cracking up

[IBEZ]

Simple puzzle for both sides but looks quite good for beginners.

[davesto123]

Qd3 RXd3 2. kn e2 mate right? please correct me if i am WRONG

[dangar40]

You are technically correct BUT I think these puzzles work by forcing the opponent into doing the move, whereas in your case Black may not take the Queen on d3.

[qualquerone]

Qd3 Qf8+ and mate in a second!!!

[BirdValiant]

Yay I finally got one of these right!

[CalebGammon]

Very intresting.

At first I was thinking along the lines of lining up the queen and the c3 bishop but I see how that could cause a huge standoff on the e2 square with something like (black to move): 1.ke2(check) re2 2. qe2 which diverts material gain and tempo to black. Thanks for the puzzle!

[thunderhead27]

keep it up because i like those type of puzzles
