Right moves for the solution to the hard chess puzzle 0039
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Ng6+, Rh3+, Qxh3#
- Ng6+, Qh3+, Rxh3#
Explanation for the moves
- Ng6+ - This sacrifice of the knight is a zugzwang move since it forces the pawn at h file to capture it which will put your opponent at disadvantage
- Rh3+ - This is another sacrifice to attract the bishop to h3
- Qh3+ - The queen sacrifices itself to attract the bishop to h3
- Qxh3# - King has no free squares to move and ends in a checkmate
- Rxh3# - King has no free squares to move and ends in a checkmate
- hxg6 - Pawn captures the knight to escape from the check since this is the only legal move available
- Bxh3 - This is another forced move as no other moves are available for the king to escape from the check
- For right move - You forced the pawn to open the h file with the zugzwang move and had a checkmate later. Good decision and a sacrifice
- For wrong move - You should have had a zugzwang move and sacrificed your pieces to have a checkmate. Try again
