pawn to queen lead to checkmate?
Sort:
It is white's turn to move. White moves the pawn. I believe promotion (Queen in this case) is automatic. The question is --- what is Black's move? Is this a stalemate because he can't or an outright checkmate?
outright checkmate
Yep, that's mate
checkmate!!
Thanks for confirming! My friend (who was playing white) was being nice to me and said that maybe it's a stalemate since the black king had nowhere to go when the pawn got promoted to queen. I would have loved if it was so but I told him it was a checkmate. Both of us are novices.
your welcome :)

ja, IMDeviate.
btw promoting into a rook is possible because it is a gullotine checkmate.
try to solve this:
Help!!! Can anyone improve??

The correct move is not 1. e4?? (which loses the queen to an 11 move combination) but instead 1. d4! Leading to a forced win in all variations, e.g.
1...g5
2. e4 f5
3. Qh5++
etc.

Even if you ignore the checkmate black still has a multiple pieces he can move. So it can never be a stalemate.
