1. f6 gxf6 2. Qh7

Took me about 90 seconds to find, and was a "Oh, DUH" moment when I noticed it. Kept trying to get something working with the Queen as the first move, and then looked at Bb5, and then noticed that Qh7 would be a good thing and it clicked.

I got the first one almost immediatley, headed over to the puzzle thread, and then quit while I was ahead.

Chess tempo is the nuts, loving the service so far.

any of you folk from San Antonio?

[YouKnowWho]

Is anyone around? I am watching live games of my countrywoman (is that even a word?) Viktorija Cmilyte in Woman Grand Prix and I would be really interested in an engine evaluation. I don't have any engine in my computer at this point :/ if someone is around and has an engine lemme know.

Chessbomb is following and has engine evals

[YouKnowWho]

Yay, I didn't know. I figured out a way to do it on ICC, I didn't know it has an engine that anyone can open. Manually imput that position, started the engine (stockfish I think, first time hearing about it) and am following now.

Thanks anyways

Well, sorry fellas, I just had to share this one. I don't care that it is not the best move (I saw the objectively best move too, but it was boring obviously!), it is the idea itself that counts to me. Thankfully my opponent didn't see the only line which draws for him and played exactly as planned letting me prove the entire point of the combination

So 1.. Re2 is just absolutely crushing. However, I would like you to find a move that I played (given the definition it shouldn't be too hard), find a drawing line for white, and find a win based on piece coordination (geometry) if white plays incorrectly.

Gogogo

it is black to move, dunno why diagram shows white.

[YouKnowWho]

I guess it can be argued that my questions may not be valid as it is not "forced" per se.. So anyway, just look at the position and tell me what ideas you have besides Re2

[Noir_Desir]

i want to sac the whole chess set with something like Qxd5 2. cxd5 Rxf4 for some Anderssen-style three piece mate but i'm too lazy to check if this works. Probably not.

something involving getting the knights to f2 and f3 for #? Probably too obvious.

Yeah pretty much this. And yeah, it doesn't work because white has one line where he escapes with a draw (( but as it was 3 0 on ICC there is no way in hell I am not playing Qxd5 haha, even though I did see Re2, but I just couldn't resist.

Some sample lines 1.. Qxd5 2. cxd5 (knight takes = easy mate) Rxf4 and now there are two options: 3. Rxe8 Rf2 4. Rf1 is a drawing line, because incredibly luckily after 4.. Rg2+ 5. Kh1 Rh2+ 6. Kg1 Rxd2 white has 7. Bc3!!!!!! and my rook has no squares on the rank so I gotta give the perpetual.

What happened in game was 3. gxf4 and here comes the entire point and the move that was the hardest at least to me 3.. Re2! It is kind of funny, white is a queen up but he is completely locked in and none of his pieces can join defense. In game he was a good sport and played 4. Rxe2 Nxe2+ 5. Kh1 Nf2#, but if he doesn't play that the mate is unavoidable anyway.

If that drawing line wasn't there I would say this was probably in the top 5 combinations I've ever made (that's probably a beat?)
