Fucking retards

>>684856802
bzzt. Qxh8

This is a trick problem. Either Ra1 or Rh8 would mate if that pesky queen on h1 weren't there. So find a move that sets up zugzwang forcing the queen to move off of that square.

>>684856802
Not mate cause Qxh8...
But Qb6 + Qxc1+ Rh8 or Qb6 + Qxh2 + Rc8 works

>>684856802

.... Qxh8

so no.

>>684856802
Qh8
Your solution sucks

This might be the most intelligent thread ive seen in a while

>>684857377
Can someone confirm mine works?

>>684857377
Nvm... doesn't work

>>684857377
but that's more than two moves. This problem is a mate in 2.

Rook at h2 checks king at h8, black queen forced to take rook. Rook at c1 checkmate at a1

>>684856537
Is this bait? It's mate in one two different ways what the fuck

>>684857377
At a glance, I think pg1(Q) busts your solution.

It's simple.We kill the Black Queen.

>>684857918
Then the queen takes that rook, too.

>>684857883
No, the "second" move was to illustrate blacks turn. Sorry for not making that clear

>>684856537
Rg1 [Qxg1 Rh8#] Qxh2 Ra1#

Easy : RxH1 , pawn x H1 , Ra2 ...

2H to 1H (Takes queen)
Bishop can choose to take rook or not.
1C to 1A

h2 takes q
g2 takes rook, gets whatever
c1 takes whatever
mate

take the bishop with the rook, and then move whichever rook the queen doesnt take to a1 or a2. checkmate

C7 to C5
C1 to C8

Mate in two turns.

nobody figured out my hint. Solution is Rg1, blocking the black pawn and queen.

If Qxg1 then Rh8#
if Qxh2 then Ra1#

Nice. My instinct is to check on top.

Black moves should be forces, so:

Rh8, Qxh8 (forced) Ra1 #

mate in 2.

>>684859910
what about this?
i'm no professional, but this seems possible

Rook c1 takes h8.
black's only two moves are to promote on g1 or to take and promote on h1.
either way swing the rook on h2 over to a2
gg.

>>684860906
>Ra1
Qa1,
retard

>>684860990
rook c1 takes h1 derp. still mate in two.

Rg1, queen has to take one rook, mate with the other on either a1 or h8

>>684856537
C1 to H1
H2 to H8

>>684860695
yeah im on both chess.com and lichess.com lets play someone

>>684860920
Pawn will be promoted to queen and take left rook.

>>684861189
>>684859985
>>684859782

WE HAVE THE ANSWER FOLKS

>>684860906
1... gxh8 is not forced. Even if it were, it would promote to a queen and take the rook on a1.

>>684860920
When the pawn takes it becomes a queen and can capture the rook.

>>684860990
If g1=Q then Ra2 results in Qa7. Still winning but not forced in two.

>>684861459 If g1=Q then Ra2 results in Qa7. Still winning but not forced in two.

shit you're right. i'm rusty.

>>684856537
Qc8

>>684861784
>>684861459
the ONLY solution is Rg1

>>684859284
it would still be in check from the queen

Maybe I'm just being retarded, tired as fuck right now, but could someone tell me why this one doesn't work?

>Rc6
>Qc8#

>>684862031
I am well aware that Rg1 is the solution.
>>684858516
Is me

>>684862165
Rc6 and then his Qd8+ you idiot

>>684862059
no...

>>684862165
King can move to a7

plus black would probably promote to Q

OK faggots, explaining this shit.

Rook on c1 moves to g1

Black can't move the king or pawn so must take one of the rooks with the queen

The other rook can then put black in mate.

>>684856537
knight c1a1 - > mate.

>>684858692
A.) thats a pawn

B.) Your solution doesnt work.

Rxg2 -- Qxg2
Ra1+ -- Qa2

Two moves are up you lose fuckstick.

>>684856537
Rc2, black moves queen either to take the rook at h2 or to a1. Use the rook black doesn't target to #

>>684863263
Meant c3. My bad
