I need the reddit bot to try it online.
My bad, next time I’ll provide a link right away. Here you go: https://lichess.org/analysis/4B3/8/6N1/5p2/1r4p1/6pk/7b/4K2Q_w_-_-_0_1?color=white

Bc6 Rb2 Trying to mate on g2 and defending.
I’m not sure where to go from there, either bg2+ or nf4+
Either case I can’t find a forced mate in my head atleast
Good start. You don’t have to calculate all the way to mate in that line, White gets an overwhelming advantage.
But more interestingly: What do you do after Bc6 Rb1+?
-
Bc6 Rb1+
-
Ke2 Rxh1
-
Bg2+ Kxg2
-
Nf4+ Kg1
-
Ke1 g2
-
Ne2
Does it work if black declines to take the queen?
-
-
Bc6 Rb1+
-
Ke2 Rxh1
3.Bg2+ Kxg2
4.Nf4+ Kg1
5.Ke1 G2
6.Ne2#
Edit K for knight to N
I think it’s meant to be
Ke1 G2
as Ne1 is an illegal move but that’s just a notation issueYeah it was very late i was meant to be asleep not playing chess puzzles knight starts with a k haha
deleted by creator
Meant to be Ke1
I fucked up the Knight and King it was 11 at night when i was doing it
No probs. Looks good. I’m a little wary of solutions that aren’t forced, but this seems the most reasonable I’ve seen so far.
After 4. Nf4+, wouldn’t it be better for the king to go to f3? Or am I overlooking something obvious
Edit: answered my own question, white king covers f3 after moving to e2, forgot about that
It seems to be open ended if black doesn’t take queen, though
Bishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn’t check the king.
If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn’t check the king ending the game
What about Rb2, Kd3, Pg2?
It gets all very messy if black doesn’t take the bate it seems
In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn’t have anything but spite checks. And if …g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).
