@xxChessMaster Rxc7 or Ka8 only moves.

If Rxc7...
Rd8+, Rc8 forced
Rxc8# either rook works.

If Ka8...
Qc8#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@chess_feed Because rook+ king beats a lonely king every time

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@ImShahinyan Ng5, Kh8
Qh7#

Ng5, Kf8
Qf7#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@xxChessMaster Rd6, one of the pawns taking is forced, which ever pawn can advance to the seventh delivers checkmate

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@chess_feed Because if you promote to a queen it leads to stalemate after taking their queen.

B8=Q, Kg1
Qxf4 1/2

The under promotion can lead to checkmate.

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@xxChessMaster Nf5.

Nf5, Kh7
Qh6#

Nf5, Rook anywhere a8-f8
Qg7#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@xxChessMaster ...Rxe7
Ne3+, Kf6 forced
Nxd5+, Kf5 forced
Nxe7+, Kf6 forced
Nxg8+

If instead Kf6
Nxg8+, Kf5 forced
Ne3#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@chess_feed Qd6+, Rxd6
Rc8+, Kxc8
Nxd6+, Kc7
Nxc4

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@chess_feed Nc5.

If the rook moves, then Qxb7#.
If the king moves, Qa6#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@chess_feed gxh8=N#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@KenGardner11 @ImShahinyan Then you aren't correct for mate in 2. It's Bf3 so if they take the queen it's not check

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@ImShahinyan Bf3.

If Rb6 up to Rxb3, Ra8#.
If Rb7, Qxb7#.
If Ra8 or Rxc8, Qb7#.
If c6 or c7, Qxb8#.

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@ImShahinyan Qa2.

If Kg4 then Qg2#
If Kg6 then Qg8#
If Bishop anywhere e8->g6 then Qg2#
If Bishop anywhere d1->g4 then Qg8#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@GMIgorSmirnov Bh3

Only legal moves are gxh5 or g5.

Either move leads to Bf5#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@GMIgorSmirnov Stops the h pawn from promoting. If ignored and the pawn promotes Ng3 forks the king and new queen. If king takes, white has a7 and black is in zugzwang. Move the king, you can't promote or promote anyway and get skewered. Anything else loses to Nf2.

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@ImShahinyan Qc8. If Rxf8 then Qxf8#
If d6 or d5 then Qh3#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@xxChessMaster It is a checkmate, just not for white lol.

Rd5#. Blocks the check from the white bishop, reveals the check from the black bishop, and cuts off the white king's only escape square from the check.

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@GMIgorSmirnov g8=B, B anywhere c7->h2
Bd5#

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@SophistryDude @ImShahinyan It's Kb5 first or you actually get there too soon

[Adam Kardisco @ATKdisco]

@ImShahinyan Kb5, Kc3
Kc5, Kd3
Kd5, Ke3
Ke5, Kf3
Kf5, Kg3
Kg5, zugzwang.

If Kh3 or Kf3, Kf4 or Kh4
If Kg2, Kg4 to keep opposition.

The pawn promotes.

Kc5 first is wrong because then you're the first one to the g file and it's a draw. Any other move and it's a draw.
