Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a  chess YouTuber based in California:

I enjoy helping beginners improve their chess game.  

How does white checkmate black?  Find three ways to checkmate black (all three ways are checkmate in ones, for your info)!  This position was taken from a game that I played today.

I can see four if I'm not mistaken: Rd6, Qg7, Qh8, Rf7.

I see a position where none of this makes any sense. Was the position changed to a diffenent one?

You deserve your Omer Simpson profile pic.

As it seems, you post as you play, free of any double checking. Why bother? Is by doing dumb avoidable mistakes that we learn we have done dumb avoidabe mistakes!

 

Mr 600 blew it, big whoop. And I prefaced it with "if I'm not mistaken" because I often am. It's a very useful qualifier.

You suggested 4 moves, 3 of them are impossible. One impossible move would be an unbderstandable mistake, but 3 out of 4?

I mistakenly transcribed two of them in their existing positions, but I have to admit Rf7 is pretty funny. I don't even remember what I meant by that.
