Queen H1 to F1?

Edit: Iโ€™m still an idiot.

Pg2

Edit: Apparently I'm being downvoted by somebody who doesn't understand white starts on row 1

Qd3 Bg3 I think, followed by promotion

I think the definitive solution was already found further down the thread, but I think this could still work
Qd3 Bg3 Nf4 Kh4 ... at that point it becomes a sloppy chase but White takes an indomitable lead, taking B and a pawn easily

[โ€“] wahming@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bg3 is a check, followed by black promoting their pawn to queen

[โ€“] dreadgoat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Oops, you're right. I went kingblind

[โ€“] jafea7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's what I would have thought, leaves the King nowhere to go and there's nothing to block/capture the Queen.
