NC6+, if Kd7, Qe7# or simply Nd8 winning the queen and exchange.

sry Kd7 leads to Nd8 too🤭

Hint: It is double check

I thought, by the title, this was some mathematical problem, and was very willing to see some expert tip top top notch mathematicians congregate in this deserted arena supposedly going by the name of a forum. Good snare.

The mathematicians congregated and concluded there was no problem to solve. The one entry of a member appeared to have been resolved at its onset. Which of course didn't bother the mathematicians greatly for who is better at creating problems where none exist than the mathematicians themselves? So they came up with this one:

Which white move that does not place the white queen en prise, loses straight away?

Isn’t there meant to be black pawns on g3 and c6? That would be the ancient game Mayet-Anderssen, Black then wins with ...Bxf2+ followed by ...Qd1+, a rook sac on h1 and finally mate on f1.

The tip top philosopher joined such a congregation and posed a question as to whether it was ethical to leave queens en prise.

Like most humans, the tip top philosopher occasionally has a bad night of sleep. In this case, it blurred his eyesight such that he missed the negation included in the question to make him contemplate a situation quite opposite to the one that was placed before him. But such as we know is not completely unusual for philosophers wink.png

Then the logician came on the frenzied scene, and observers (maybe from relativistic theory formulations) asked, "Is he a maniac or a sensible person?" To respond to that question, the logician nodded his head in a somewhat swaying motion, intending to convey the affirmative. But of course, he was pondering about how to converse with someone who asks if the converse was true.

Which explains why the only puzzle the philosopher ever solves in his life is how to show that all puzzling is meaningless. Others look up to him in admiration for it and dare not ask why he does not simply solve the puzzles.
