how do you make that kind of board?
Forced Mate in 7
Sort:
Using the chess diagram editor...
on move two how come you can't use the bishop to fork the king and queen with the knight acking it up?
otherwise good puzzle
you can't ever fork king and queen. This is forced mate line for white, so even if you could, why bother going after queen?
On move 1 black response should be Kxg7 not Kh8. This isn't forced mate.
I the king takes on g7 on move 1, white has 2.Rg6+ Kf7 (2...Kh7/8 Qh6#) 3.Qd7#.
On move two this is also possible.
if kxg7, then rg6+ followed by:
kxh7, qh6#
kf7, qd7#
kh8, qh6 Forced mate in one
That's why kxg7 does not work. Here is a diagram.
mathjis saw the same thing I saw. Good puzzle btw.
Yes, exactly, this is why it was forced mate. I already thought of those responses and saw the best response as not taking the knight.

This is a forced mate in 7. I hope you like it, I'm hoping it's not a pattern you're use to seeing.
