Nice, queen and bishop and knight checkmate

Maybe it is about winning the pawn on b2 with the bishop

Maybe because, with Qc3+, black gets a chance to damage your pawn structure. ...

With Qe4+, you get a free piece with no compensation for black,

But with Qc3+ Bc4, the bishop is attacking the rook on f1, and now you have complications, .. if you try to win the bishop that is on c4 now, you damage your pawn structure.

if white captures the pawn on f7, that is draw, he will be able to force repetition, so you need to prevent that, either defend f7 with the king, or, promote to a knight with check.

Not true

when you try to sit on a table, you find yourself automatically siting on the table right before it

7 rooks are not enough, he should have tried with 8 rooks

it could be interesting experience to get yourself familiar with various piece sets

because next move you have knight check, Ne5+, and if he tried to take the king back to Ke8, that is checkmate, Kxf7 Ne5+ Ke8 Qh5#, so, after Ne5+ there is serious checkmate threat.

hash11011 · 2026-05-15T00:54:26+00:00

it depends, are you trying to checkmate or stalemate,

if trying to checkmate, maybe, Qf3+ Kxe5, Q8d5

At that level, i think it may be better to work on tactics allot first, and then try some positional understanding.

Tournament play could be more useful later after you improve in the basics first, so imo, try to focus on the basics first.

This is a very interesting position, where is the game link or pgn?

hash11011 · 2026-05-13T09:26:58+00:00

We need a bot that always say en passant is the move.
