Queens just has to move to g8# at the end instead of all that zig-zagging black's king into the corner, lol. I'm an amature player, and even I could see that, lol. Enjoyed the video regardless...

go to 1:20 if you want to start the game.

great game, but surely it's a forced mate in two after Rg8#, Kf7, Qd7#

at 2:19 why can't white play Nxb5?

[Gamatsu]

[CebuChess]

what he meant was instead of Nf6+ etc on 5:52, you could have Check it on Nf7 then force to Kh7 and there goes Qg6#

[noragermatte]

2:22 cant white play Kxb5 becouse if black take cxb5, white only take the bishop on b7
