[Puzzle Road] The four fantastic moves! (P23)

Welcome to Puzzle Road!

The puzzle of today is a beautiful forced checkmate, that you need to play in only 4 moves. Black cannot do anything to stop our attack! (the mate could be in a few more moves if the opponent would play the moves proposed by the chess.com analyzing bot, but these moves are useless and cannot stop the mate!)

You will have to find the best moves, without blundering. If you play one wrong move: nothing’s there anymore! Will you solve the puzzle? Let’s see if your answer was correct!

23/ The four fantastic moves! (topic: forced checkmate)

First move: Queen c7 + (!!)

This move is maybe logical for some of you, but you will still need to calculate if it’s the right one! In this position, it works, because Black cannot move a piece between the queen and the king, which could be protected by another black piece! Black can play here King g8, but it’s followed by Bishop b3, King f8 and Queen f7#. They need to play King f8.

Second move: Queen d8 + (!!)

Again, has only 2 squares: f7 and g7. On both square, he will be followed by the queen. In both cases, we will play the moves Bishop b3 and Queen e7, just in two different orders, to checkmate the opponent!

Have fun in playing chess and have a good day,
