Okay thanks. I will try a couple of more times then I will check out the winning move.
Is this impossible? or Am I doing something wrong?
this puzzle is just really hard actually, the winning move is this
Qa2!! is the winning move
Its fonted in white color right above here in the blank line so that its not a spoiler unless you look at it
"Qa2!!"? It won't be mate in 2 if the king moves away from the corner region.
so the goal is NOT to mate?
No the goal is TO mate. Qa2 seems like a good move but what is the next move. That stomps me.
Its impossible, trust me. My grandfather was famous for chess and he says that thats a non-kill. The king would keeep on runnin away. I have been stuck in that same situation.
1. qa2 kxa8
2. c8=Q++
1. qa2 kc6
2. qd5++
1. qa2 nb5
2. c8=Q++
1. Qa2 Nc8
2. Then what is white's move for mate?
so Qa2 doesn't work?
haha I posted the same puzzle few minutes ago and then I saw this topic now. Whatha coincidence!!!
Well, if you want see the solution, then check my last topic: Mate in 2 (HARD)!
Okay let me clarify something maybe this will help. If I go Qa8 black's knight will go c8. After that I see no possible checkmates
This is a puzzle I have been working on for the past seven months. It has stumped me. It's from a chess app on my cell phone. Is this just a teaser or am i doing something wrong?
