White can move the bishop to f6 and check the king, which is also a discovered attack on the queen.

@@Axiomatic75 then knight takes that bishop. if rook takes knight, you are still about equal. But I guess then white will take the black bishop at the end of the capture chain so... I guess you just have to go through each branch and see which one turns out great for black. ? Man, why do I watch chess vids????

​@TruthSurge If the knight takes that bishop, you of course don't recapture the knight, you capture the queen with the rook. Knight can then capture the rook but you still have a queen for a rook.

@@Axiomatic75 I suck at chess! I should stop trying and go back to guitar and writing stories!

@@TruthSurge 99% of chess players, including myself, suck at chess. Doesn't make it any less fun 😉

You literally did

I mean, thats why I really don't like some chess puzzles, because they seem stupid to me. Black is already completely winning in multiple ways, so the puzzle is just to find a best forced mate. But black also can just take the bishop (g5) with an attack on the rook - its free and trade everything after that. So what is the point of this complicated exchange of material if you can just straight up be up a bishop and force your opponent to trade everything and be up material with a position of strong attack on white's king.

​@@dw_bh5009The bishop isn't free as it's guarded by both the rook and the queen. White would just recapture with the rook and be up the exchange.

You mean knight to f2 I presume. I don't see how that's winning.

@@Axiomatic75 yeah, you are right, i somehow missed the queen. But still black can just go pawn h6 or rook to g8 or any other slow improving move to his position, because he is already completely winning, he can easily improve in 2-3 moves and come with a massive attack on white and white barely has anything, in fact i don't see any real threats to black besides white pawns beeing a little bit close. So, would anyone besides super GM really play a move like king to g8 instead of just slowly improving your position and coming with an inevitable attack on black.

@dw_bh5009 I just put this position into Stockfish. It evaluates the position as -5.2 after the King move, -1.2 if bxh2 and -1.2 if Nf2+. All other moves lead to an equal position at best. So the King move is the only move that gives a winning advantage. Edit: It's a very hard puzzle so yeah, probably only a GM or IM would likely find this move in a game. That's why it's a hard puzzle.

I actually already made video on that it was banned after 1972 Tim Krabbe puzzle of mate in 2 in which he did vertical castling by stating he didn't break any rule and he was right and after that the word "Rank" was added in the castling "if king and rook are on the same rank" you are right I should add it here as this was all about castling thanks for the suggestion !!

I agree cloud

How would that even come to happen? He was playing as both sides and it's an online game. You are foolish.
