Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com. Black to move. What is the quickest way to win?
This position was taken from a bullet game that I recently played.
I believe it is 1... Bf2+, 2. Kh2 g1=Q+, 3.Kh3 Qg3#
That's the fastest way! A bit slower but also instructive is 1. .... Bh2+ 2. Kxh2 Pg2xf1=Q and so on. "Quickest way to win" is an odd formulation. Supposedly intended is "quickest way to checkmate".
Either 1... Bf2 2.Kh2 g1(Q)+ 3. Kh3 Qg3# and 1... Bh2 2. Kxh2 gxf1(Q) and then 3...Qg2 winning in 3 moves.
What about f2#??

F2 is mate right??

ah yes f2 is checkmate,it is not like there is Kxg2.

I think your second line is less accurate. 1... Bh2 2. Kxh2 gxf1=Q but then White plays 3. Kg3 and Black will have to spend more time to secure a checkmate.
