G4-g6 check
Oops I meant f6
White only has three pawn moves. After any of them - the bishop on f1 is hanging which means it's unprotected so black can take the bishop with Rxf1.
f4. Black can take the knight with Qxg4.
h3.
h4. This attacks the Q on g5. But black can take the pawn with Qxh4.
I think I'm not following. How would black take the Knight at Qxg4 if the Knight moved to f6?
You're talking about the knight moving to f6. I was only talking about pawn moves.
Ok - why were you talking about pawn moves?
Not op, but your original notation is for pawns.
Fuck, pawns have a special notation that only they use? I thought I could just name the starting square and the square it finishes on and people would understand? How else am I supposed to answer without learning a special language?
You name the piece and the square it moves to, you don't name the origin square, that's implied by the piece (unless there are multiple of the same piece that can move to the same square which you would then denote which rank or file differentiates the pieces)
Pawns do not have a symbol so if you were to say g6 you are saying a pawn is moving to g6.
N = knight
B = Bishop
R = rook
Q = Queen
K = King
To indicate a capture, use an x. So NxG6 means knight moves and captures whatever is on g6.
To indicate check, use a +. So NG6+ in this case.
To indicate mate, #. Ng6+, QxG6, Qg4#.
Sorry for being a nerd
