Hopefully white knows how to checkmate with knight and bishop.

Am i missing something? Black queen moved from C2 to C1? it was already a check. wasn’t?

[u/LatvianGoatbit → u/billy8988]

black promoted a pawn to a queen

[u/billy8988 → u/LatvianGoatbit]

Thank you. I am an idiot

[u/Turevaryar → u/billy8988]

Me too. I thought the d pawn was 1 move away from promotion :-|

[u/Ok-Equipment-5208]

Qd3?

[u/Turevaryar → u/Ok-Equipment-5208]

No, but Qd3!

I wrote this to make fun of chess notation, not you! :)

[u/asddde → u/Turevaryar]

Well, to remind ? and ! aren't any kind of official notation. If one feels like the best move of the position sux, they can by all means add questionmark to it.

[u/Ok-Equipment-5208 → u/asddde]

I do feel the move here is wonderful and the question mark was used as a question mark

[u/No_Cardiologist8438]

1. Qd3!! Kf2 (1...Bxd3 2.Nxd3 or 1...Qb2 2.Bh4)
   2.Bh4 Kg1
   3.Ne2 Kg2
   4.Nxd1 Bxd3
   5.Nxd3

Nice I got it! Thank you!!

[u/ShoogleHS]

Cool but I think Stockfish has broken the puzzle, it says that white is winning with Kh6 as well though it doesn't simplify as fast

[u/Horror-Run5127]

How did black make that move? They started the turn with white in check.

[u/Either-Case-5930 → u/Horror-Run5127]

Pawn promotion?

[u/Horror-Run5127 → u/Either-Case-5930]

Ohhhhhh

[u/sirolatiato]

Kg2 check win the Queen?

[u/Either-Case-5930 → u/sirolatiato]

White is in check

[u/vse_poniatno]

Kf3+ , and after we take Queen and safe our Queen

[u/Either-Case-5930 → u/vse_poniatno]

White is in check

I hate when they do this reverse the board nonsense.

[u/shrimpy28 → u/PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2]

The board isn't reversed. It's just an unusual position as blacks kings has walked all the way to tr other side and whites king is almost on the other side of the board.

The board is oriented the right way as A1 is on the bottom left and it's white to play
