Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0068
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Ra1, Bxd3#
Explanation for the moves
- Ra1 - One way to have a checkmate is to capture the pawn at d3 by the bishop and give a check. This is discouraged by the protecting rook. If you divert the rook, you can have a checkmate. The rook sacrifices itself to overload the opponent’s rook. This is also a decoy move. The opponent’s rook has two duties now.
- Rxa1 - Opponent chose to capture the hanging rook. This move left the pawn at d3 unguarded
- Bxd3# - Your bishop captures the hanging pawn and checkmate. Opponent’s king can not move to other squares due to the attack from your knight. This is how you can mate in two moves
- For right move - You have over loaded the opponent’s rook and won the game. It was a good decision
- For wrong move - You could have over loaded the opponent’s rook and won the game. Try again
