Here is a little chess problem...
No checkmate to find here.
The question is: what is the move that lead to that strange, impossible looking position...

  • well i guess the answer is:

    the white had a pawn and the black had another peice at the corner so the white pawn just captyred the black peice and exchange the pawn with the rook

  • @wasfe1 You got it!

  • @TyYann Except that white only promotes on the 8th rank which is the other end of the board

  • @Valendian2009 Who said it is the other end?

  • how could you make such arrangment? this arrangment cant be done at all...

  • @wasfe1 Yes it can! Check the video response!

  • @syeddawdye747 im sorry i meant 2 Knights on C5 and C6. One Knight on C5 and the other one on C6. That's a really good checkmate!

  • @syeddawdye747 oh im sorry, i forgot about the bishop on C1. The pawn promotion on the first rank allows the pawn on A2 to be a rook on A1. However, 2 rooks on C5 and C6 would be a decisive checkmate!!...

  • easy, rook B1-A1; put a knight on C5 and C6 and you have checkmate!!...

  • how the hell did i get here?

  • Yes, there's only one solution because of the double check from rook and bishop so it has to be a discovered check with a white pawn on g7 and a black piece on h8. Capture, discovered check, promote to a rook. Very tricky.

  • pawn promotion

  • @TyYann Hehe I just watched the solution video, very clever

  • @TyYann

    well i have 958 wins in a row in chess games... :)
