Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0074
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- Bb5+, Bxe8, Qxe8
Explanation for the moves
- Rhe8 - Opponent’s rook pins your queen to your king. Your queen can not move out of e file. Queen can not capture opponent’s rook since it is supported by another rook in battery formation
- Bb5+ - The only way to unpin your queen is to remove the rook that is giving check. Since the opponent’s king and the rook are on the same diagonal, your bishop gives a check so that it is having a x-ray attack on opponent’s rook through their king. This is a skewer attack
- Kc7 - Since opponent’s king can not capture your bishop due to the support from the knight, it moves to c7 to escape from the check threat.
- Bxe8 - Your bishop captures the rook by sacrificing itself to save the queen
- Rxe8 - Remaining rook captures your bishop
- Qxe8 - Your queen captures the hanging rook. This is how you can save your queen.
- For right move - You have safely unpinned your queen using the bishop. You did a great job
- For wrong move - You could have captured the rook by using your bishop. Try again
