I'll try a neutral move, pawn to b5.duncandisorderly wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 12:43 pmQueen to A8 wins.
Someone as Black tell me what they'd do once I've moved to my queen to A8 and I'll tell you how I counter to force mate.
edit - just realised how dickish that sounds. I only mean that there's more than one move available to Black so there's more than one move available to white....

Re: Chess puzzle
I'm obviously missing something as I can only see the queen as the only white piece who can mate after your first move and the only mating squares are d5 or e4 which are both defended by black knights.duncandisorderly wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 12:43 pmQueen to A8 wins.

So if after your first move I play pawn b6-b5 what's your mating move?
Edit seen response to this so what about Bishop a7-b8
Edit: Seen it now well done
