It's a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what

That King needs a snack first though.

No, the pawn does.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I believe it's the King. Otherwise, the movement of the pawn will create an opening for white Rook to take the pawn next turn, check King forcing movement, then Rook takes Bishop for free next turn.

Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Oop, you're right, no I missed that one rook entirely. Guess it is a "brilly" 😂

Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.

Just capture the queen with the pawn next to the king

I don't know what buying a new graphics card will do for them

I don't know what those letters mean so I can only assume it's chess speak for "good job you win"

“But it’s your wedding?!”

I I haven't played chess beyond the never read the rules, never played with anyone serious, elementary school level. I don't know when anything other than the most basic movement is allowed. What is brilly?

The main place that people play chess these days is on chess.com, and if you review your game afterwards, it will tell you which of your moves were good, bad, or in this case: brilliant ("brilly").

Bro is good at planning his moves

Doesn't black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not anymore, he's in check now. As soon as he's free, yes.

[–] iagomago@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago

A friend made me just realize that it's always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.
