Right moves for the solution to the hard chess puzzle 0077
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- g2+, Qxe4+, gxh1=N#
Explanation for the moves
- g2+ - This is a discovered check as the pawn movement reveals the attack from your queen
- Qxe4+ - Your queen captures the pawn at e file and gives the next check.
- gxh1=N# - Your pawn promotes itself to a knight by capturing the rook. It is always not necessary to promote the pawn to a high value piece. You can some times under-promote the pawn. Opponent’s king has no free squares. This is how you can mate in 3 moves
- Ke2 - Since there are no pieces to block the attack from your queen, opponent’s king moves to e2 which is the only free square available
- Kf2 - Opponent’s king is forced to go to f2. This is a zugzwang move.
- For right move - You have wisely under-promoted your pawn to win the game. Keep up the good work
- For wrong move - You could have won after promoting your pawn to a knight. Try again
