      @useruseruser40 4 месяца назад

      make sure your stockfish version is up to date and enable seeing all lines. It is important to do that because it forces stockfish to look deeper into lines instead of discarding their searches if nothing is found yet

  • @HoldenNY22
    @HoldenNY22 10 месяцев назад +1

    Couldn't White just move the Queen to F1 Checking the KIng. The only Move for Black would be to move the Pawn one square down to G2 blacking the diagonal attack by the Queen. But then the Queen can go to 3 D- Checking the. KIng again. I think eventaully the knight can take at least one of the Pawns,if not more.

    • @Mahrac126
      @Mahrac126 7 месяцев назад

      Black's response to checking on the 3rd rank is Bg3+, and then promoting the pawn after white moves the king.

    • @CARPB147
      @CARPB147 20 дней назад

      @@Mahrac126 No. Response to Qd3+ is simply to block with bishop at Bg3+ forcing the white king to move to e2 or d1 or d2. There it is exposed to a rook or promoted pawn check.

  • @kzkaa.
    @kzkaa. Год назад +6

    My solution(that I got) :
    1. Qf1+ g2(this part is with Stockfish's help, although the rest are easy to figure out)
    2. Qd3+ g3
    3. Qxf5+ Rg4
    4. Qh5+ Rhd
    5. Qxh4#
    Also, apparently Stockfish thinks that taking the Queen is a mistake, instead opting for Rb1+
    Edit : nvm. Bg3 loses

  • @litestuffllc7249
    @litestuffllc7249 7 месяцев назад

    OK a very nice solution the double sacrifice; but it assumes that black uses the rook to check and take the queen; he could just move the pawn up take the queen. but why not queen to kb1; check, pawn must move forward to block, queen to q3 check; pawn likely moved forward to block; queen takes pawn check. Rook must block; Queen to KR check Rook must block; queen takes rook checkmate; now there is a problem the bishop could have blocked. In your solution; the Black could have just used the pawn pushed up and the queen is lost.
