Posting a tactical position from a recent match of mine on FICS. I am planning on posting these types of videos when I get interesting positions from my matches. It's black to move - see if you can find the mate before I go over the answer!

  • took me 30 secs.....and I'm not even good...

    

  • I didn't get it.

  • i'm sure someone has mentioned this but: you could have taken pawn with queen. rook takes queen. promote pawn to queen check. white blocks with knight. queen takes knight. checkmate. 

  • man this is baby stuff... i could have played this while blindfolded!!!! and I'm not joking! it's just the logical outcome of the exchange, no tricks or tatics here!

  • @CUB3FR34K ummm..because pussys good?

  • If you guys are wondering. Why he didn't see the fastest checkmate. It's simply because he didn't need to look any further. First thing that came to mind was. Oh. i take the knight and he's done. So he simply did it... Also. In tournament. *eat* is much more common then i *captured* ... (well everywhere) actually... (also im a 1950) i saw queen take first..

  • @lamerthenlife wtf lol

  • Yeah, adding to the Rb1+ ideas:

    If 1...Nxb1 2.c1=Q #

    If 1...Rxb1 2.cxb1=Q+ Nxb1 Qe1 #

    A LOT of winning variations here.
