In Soviet Russia, opponent checkmate YOU.

I Do not UNDERSTAND. Does that actually count as win in Russia? 

When something has a purpose, it's a common joke to say that in Soviet Russia, that object does the thing to the user. An example would be "In capitalist America, you read books. In Soviet Russia, books read YOU!"

AH, I get it now. @OrphanGenerator, it is actually a very amusing joke.

if there wasn't any position where you could checkmate in one move, then checkmate wouldn't be a thing at all

and chess wouldnt be a thing at all either

Wow, a totally different view on this. Superb. Totally agree in that sense.

That was brought up before. There at least a couple hundred possible ways to deliver checkmate in one. Here is an example for the OP.

 

 

This is not draw, this is win!

@IfPatriotGames, you can easily checkmate with the queen on b7

@IfPatriotGames, just play Qb7#

Let's say Ne8+ (foreigners: Se8+) you may have wondered what the + bit is.

PeterMisiu

+ = check

PeterMisiu

But what about Ne8# (foreigners: Se8#)?

PeterMisiu

# = checkmate!

PeterMisiu

Good luck!

If you wondered what the 'S' in e.g. Se8+ is, S means 'skoczek' which is the Polish for 'Knight (chess)'. If you are still curious, learn with a Polish coach (chess.com lessons)

I know a great Polish coach: @DawidCzerw
