White just moved the knight, black to play

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, that’s mate in one.

I’m wondering why white would move the knight like that for the triple fork. I was thinking white would move the rook. Still white is in bad shape here.

It's not mate in one, it's mate in two. White can block the bishop with the D pawn.

Kc5+ - Bxc5+
d4 - Bxd4#

Oh yes, of course. You are right. The pawn buys one extra move.
