Hint: white is one bad move away from getting checkmated but can checkmate black with a few accurate moves.

Good puzzle, but what is wrong with 2. Rxf6+?

Avatar of KevinOSh

Black can play g6 and there is no mate.

I've encountered this puzzle before

I think this puzzle is extremely high because people overlook the move Kg4

Your puzzle rating is excellent Tyler

Avatar of Duck

Thank you. At this level I receive a lot of endgame puzzles, which is good because endgame puzzles are my strength. All you have to do really is consider every possible move and calculate ahead.

Yeah I have an alt which I'm 3500 puzzles lol (Scattered can confirm)

But he's much better dunno how he gets his rating up

Avatar of Duck

Here's the thing, a lot of puzzles at the lower stage deal with forcing moves (checks, captures, etc.) Once you get higher up you have to deal with a lot more subtle moves, or moves that seem like they don't accomplish anything. However, these moves have a powerful impact as the opponent doesn't have any way to stop your plan. If you can find these kinds of moves then you'll be a great puzzle solver.

Yes I got it from Sam Copeland's video.

Yeah, chess.com puzzle ratings are very inflated because people are too impatient. Too many people will just guess obvious-looking moves without actually calculating to the end. If this position happened in a real game, probably an 1800 would find the moves

And it’s also why ChessKid has yet to have a large amount of 1900+ players
