Right moves for the solution to the easy chess puzzle 0079
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- e8=N+, Nxc7
Explanation for the moves
- e8=N+ - Your pawn is promoted to a knight and gives check to the king. By this check, your knight forks opponent’s king and queen
- Ke7 - Since there are no pieces to capture your knight, opponent’s king moves to e7 to escape from the check threat. This is a zugzwang move as they will lose a opportunity to checkmate in next move by moving their queen to h2
- Nxc7 - Your knight captures opponent’s queen. The under promotion was necessary in last move because, if you promoted your pawn to a queen, opponent’s queen will have a checkmate by moving their queen to h2. You king can not escape since the queen is in battery formation with the bishop. The knight sacrifices itself to avoid checkmate in next move
- For right move - You have cleverly avoided checkmate in next move by promoting your pawn to a knight. Keep up the good work
- For wrong move - You could have gained the queen through a check by under-promotion of pawn to a knight. Try again
