    It’s a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what

        No, the pawn does.

          No, I believe it’s the King. Otherwise, the movement of the pawn will create an opening for white Rook to take the pawn next turn, check King forcing movement, then Rook takes Bishop for free next turn.

            Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

              Oop, you’re right, no I missed that one rook entirely. Guess it is a “brilly” 😂

              Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

              Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.

          I don’t know what those letters mean so I can only assume it’s chess speak for “good job you win”

            Rook takes pawn (on F7). Checkmate, white wins.

              So the king moves to F6

                I think you mean G6, which is attacked by the pawn on H5.

                Firstly, the king can’t make it there from where it currently is, and secondly, if the white rook is on F7, then F6 is still in danger.

    I I haven’t played chess beyond the never read the rules, never played with anyone serious, elementary school level. I don’t know when anything other than the most basic movement is allowed. What is brilly?

      The main place that people play chess these days is on chess.com, and if you review your game afterwards, it will tell you which of your moves were good, bad, or in this case: brilliant (“brilly”).

    Doesn’t black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

      Not anymore, he’s in check now. As soon as he’s free, yes.

        A friend made me just realize that it’s always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.
