That was quite tricky to find. If it was a real game, I would have probably just simplified lol.

i had to give up after a while - that was a good one
My brain canโt even and I canโt figure out that interactive chessboard. Could someone post the solution?
Took me quite a while to find it. Frustrating considering White has such an overwhelming advantage in this position.
Solution
- Qd2 c5
- Na5++
Queen moves to d2, threatening mate with Qd4 unless Black defends d4 with pawn to c5. However, the a5 square is now free for the Knight to deliver checkmate anyway, so black's only defense is fruitless.
