[Other Sport] Chess Puzzle

[Moshe Gariani]

Bishop takes knight

Definitely could be it.
What happens after QxB...?

p.s. thanks to CaB and Titanic for excellent suggestions....[emoji2]

 

[Questions]

Keep 3 at the back (black)

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Do you mean Qg5+ (using current notation)...?

Doesn’t lead directly to mate but allows rook capture so to be a pawn up and winning position...?

Yeah this I think.
White King's move are all weak exposing various pins available for Black's bishop and the easy move of R to g8
Assume the White K would move to f1?

Q xR put's the Knight and KR Pawn under threat as well as protecting Black's passed pawn.
Very strong position, but seems to be a lot of play left after that combination.

NSC needs an online chess knockout tournament. Reckon it would have loads of potential.



I really would organise it myself, except I can't be arsed.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Can't see anything quick, so I think it's
RXg2
Kxg2
Qg5
Kf1
Qxf4...

Qxf4...

Yes, that’s what I think too. Unless anyone comes up with something better! [emoji23]

Seems a slightly tame result for a puzzle - but is intermediate sort of level so plenty of advantage...

 

[Simster]

Edit: nope, I give up

Yep, g3 defeats your initial Qh3 suggestion...

Bishop takes white knight

Not much left on for ole whitey that’s for sure

 

[Goldstone1976]

Best I've got is black getting 2 pawns...

1...Rxg2+
2 Kxg2 Qg5+
3 Kf1 Qxf4
4 Nd4 Qxf6

Then black gets his R on the e file.

 

[perseus]

How does that continue after KxR...?

Q-N4+

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

When will we find out what happens?
I am in camp" rook takes pawn in front of king".

 

[perseus]

It's diabolical



White to play

It's diabolical.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Should’ve gone for the 4-2-3-1 formation, the king would’ve been fine.

Correct white move and I will reply for black

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I'm not very good but can see something to do with queening d pawn, and a fork on f7 and other checks available to black ...

Is Bb3 the right first move?

Black pushes pawn for discovered check?

NO
White has only got four pieces to move, Truly diabolical though.

I won't get it if its really hard. A window on the level of my thought processes....

Queening the d pawn seems essential for white unless there is some mating net with bishop and knight possible - if the puzzle is really complex then it could involve queening the g pawn (but I can't work that far ahead)
Can't be d8 because of fork on f7 that would follow
Nf6+ is obviously possible but can't see where it would lead
Ne5 would protect f7
The black bishop moving to a5 is a problem
etc etc

no idea really
