Inb4 some 200 elo says "Qc8/d8 is mate in one"

Also, there is no mate in 2. This is what it's actually supposed to look like:

The Queen is pinned and cannot move there.

I see mate in three with Qd7, not mate in two. The Black Queen can prolong the game with a check, and then the Rook blocks, requiring three moves for the mate.

guys, just play Kf8 or Kg8

Avatar of neeleshkartha

if Qxh1 then Qc8 is mate

Avatar of neeleshkartha

Absolutely not. Black will check Qe4 / Qf3 / Qg2 and there is no mate.

There is no mate in 2. Because the OP botched the position. See post #2.

in the position OP gave, there is a mate in 3, after Kg8

So where is the mate in 2? Why is the guy "right" when he claimed there is mate-in-2 when there isn't?

Avatar of neeleshkartha

yeah you're right, the OP botched up the position, the first position is not mate in two

Also, there is no mate in 2. This is what it's actually supposed to look like:

there is a mate in 2, start with Kh8, if rook moves it's obvious otherwise if black queen moves, then Qc8

I've just checked the opening post if it was corrected or not. It wasn't. The king is still of f7. You can't move Kh8 from f7, and it wouldn't help anyway.
