Right, but what about 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Kd2 Rxh1?
Shit. Leave it with me
Bc6, Rb1, Ke2, RxH1, BxH1, Pg2, Nf4, Kg3/h4, Nxg2. That's as far as I've gotten
Once white loses their queen, a mate is impossible
Got a modification on it. I think it works...
Bc6, Rb1, Ke2, Rxh1, Bg2+,Kxg2,Nf4+,Kg1,Ke1,Pg2,Ke2#
? I dunno if my logic is right, but pretty sure that might be it, been fiddling moves for a while...
Nice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King
I've been making the same mistake haha
Yeah that's the same answer i got.
I think that's the best way. But I'm by no means an expert
I did variations where the room doesn't take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king
Tell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1
I tried that but ultimately you lose the queen and can't stop the pawn queening. The following most likely would be Re4+, then if you move f2 it's check, f4 you loss your queen and black queens
Doh I'm an idiot, missed Re4 somehow
The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2
Sorry last one should be Ne2#
Nah thats not true
Given black still has pieces, in this case it probably is
Nah i think you have to lose the queen to win
Yeah looks like Squareeyed found it
Bc6 Rb1+
Ke2 Rxh1
3.Bg2+ Kxg2
4.NF4+ Kg1
5.Ne1 G2
Hows that
6.Ne2#
Edit K for knight to N
