Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0067
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Bxh7+, Qxf8, Qg7#
Explanation for the moves
- Bxh7+ - If you deflect the opponent’s king away from the queen, you can capture the hanging queen. The bishop sacrifices itself to attract the king away from g8
- Qxf8 - Your queen captures the opponent’s hanging queen and it restricts the opponent’s king’s movements
- Qg7# - Queen moves in and gives a checkmate. Opponent’s king can not capture your queen since it is supported by the pawn
- Kxh7 - Opponent’s king is forced to capture the bishop. He can not come to g7 due to the attack from the pawn. If he moves to h8, you can end the game by moving your queen to f8, This is a zugzwang move
- a3 - Since the king does not have any legal moves, one of the pawn moves forward
- For right move - You have sacrificed your bishop to have a checkmate in 3 moves. It was a wise decision
- For wrong move - You could have attracted the opponent’s king using your bishop to have a checkmate in three moves. Try again
