Right moves for the solution to the hard chess puzzle 0067
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Re8+, Qxe8+, Rh1+, Rxh3#
Explanation for the moves
- Re8+ - You can have a checkmate, if you can push the king to h file where its nearby squares are occupied by friendly pieces. The rook sacrifices itself to push the king
- Qxe8+ - Since the rook and queen were in battery formation, your queen captures the opponent’s queen and gives a check. Now the king has to leave eighth rank
- Rh1+ - Your another rook moves to h file and gives a check. Since the nearby squares are occupied by friendly pieces, the king has no free squares to move.
- Rxh3# - Your rook captures the bishop and checkmates. Since there are no pieces to block your rook’s attack, the game ends in a checkmate
- Bh3+ - Opponent’s bishop blocks the check threat and gives a check at the same time
- Qxe8 - Opponent has only two moves. Either their queen can capture your rook or the king can move to h7. If the king moves to h7, you can checkmate in next move by moving your rook to h1
- Kh7 - This is the only legal move available for the opponent. This is a zugzwang move
- For right move - You have used your rooks and queen effectively to have a mate in 4 moves. Those were the best moves
- For wrong move - You could have pushed the king to h7 to have a checkmate. Try again
