I have to ask the same question: what happens if the king at 9.33 goes back a6?

[thechesswebsite]

[GenericPurpleTurtle]

what should you do if he moves up to a6 at 9:33?

I did some tests with Rybka from one of your middle positions by pretty much just moving the Black king through the a7, a8 and b8 squares and it seemed pretty much impossible for Rybka to mate it.

consider yourself now smarter than Rybka :)

checkmate in 50 or 15 moves?

Se o Rei volta a A6 a sequência é:1-...Ra6, Cb4...;2-...Ra5, Rc5...; 3-...Ra4, Rc4...(E, se rei volta a A5, joga-se Bispo C7, fechando, e rei A4, Bispo B6 com posiçao anterior) e no mais segue-se a explicação do vídeo!!! se concorda, diz aí, obrigado!!!

I just have WAY to much trouble trying to get the king to the side! he always escapes, or ends up in a repitition position. Very frusterating.

@Efermode If you find it out in a rapid chess tournament, with all ppl looking at your board and with 3 minutes on the clock, you will feel the pain.

I've been practising this for hours. I can usually checkmate the king on your site pretty fast, but I do get stuck from time to time. I guess it wouldn't go smooth if it was a real player. Wikipedia says that it only occurs once every 5000 games but I had so much fun that I couldn't stop figuring it out. Thanks :-)

But explain us what if he at 9:33 goes back to a6, it looks impossible to mate him in 50 moves! please give an understandable answer please!!!???????

[otinanetan]

Need help please.
