Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0070
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Ra8+, Rxf8#
Explanation for the moves
- Rxf5 - Opponent’s rook gained a piece and pinned your knight to your king so that they can gain that also in the next move. But this is a mistake
- Ra8+ - Your rook moves to a8 and gives a check. Had the opponent’s rook been at f8, this move would not be possible. The opponent’s mistake was used to gain an advantage here.
- Rxf8# - Your rook captures opponent’s rook and checkmate. THe king can not come to g7 due to the attack from your pawn. This is how you can mate in 2 moves
- Rf8 - Opponent realised the mistake and brings their rook back to f8. But this will not stop the checkmate as the rook is not supported
- For right move - You did not bother losing your pieces because you knew how to win the game. It was a wise decision
- For wrong move - You could have had a checkmate in 2 moves. You missed it. Try again
