i wonder why black never moves his bisshop ... Surprised

I wouldve got the solution, but you said it was mate in 127. It was mate in 125. I would've got it first time if not for that. Tongue out

Bishop defends against mate on b3. After Black runs out of pawn moves the bishop is forced to move and mate follows

LOL I didn't have the stamina to finish the entire puzzle; my hand got tired after like 50-some clicks and watching the Queen dance around. Still pretty funny though :)

There's no point to some parts of this. Between 4...Rc2 and 6...Rc2 absolutely nothing changes. It looks like a spite check. Not best play.

outstanding! to believe the queen had such a power in the game! i really liked, i am still looking back at it, trying to understand it fully.

10. Qe2 is followed by ...Rc3+ 11. Kxa4 Ng3 and black's king is free to go out in the open.

Also, the procedure of 19. Qf1+ Rc1 20. Qf5+ Rc2 21. Qe4 is unnecessary; after 18. Qd3+ Rc2 you can play 19. Qe4 immediately with the same result.

Quite extraordinary. I've never seen anything quite like it..

Unfortunately this is not mate at all, just poor play on blacks part. He could of ended whites glory with 10...Rc3+

what about 10. ... pushing the black pawn to gain a queen?

what about 2. ... pushing the black pawn to gain a queen?

putting bishop in Bc6 will prevent white's queen.

Oh, I see I didn't credit the Composer. O.T. Blâthy. I only had a surname, and had to Google for the initials, and came accross another post on here from last year, by the same composer, Mate in 292 moves... Blathy's Monster. I don't know how to post the link, sorry. The author was nimzovich

shouldnt this have been a draw? most of the checks were made well over  3 times

Very true but a great puzzle nevertheless.


Where is Rc3 a possibility?

On the 10th move. I believe this solution works around that kink.
