Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0077
Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves
- fxe1=N+, Bc6#
Explanation for the moves
- fxe1=N+ - Your pawn captures the rook and promoted to a knight. If you promote to any other piece your opponent may capture your rook through a check. This under-promotion will force the king to respond
- Kh1 - This is the only free square available for the opponent due to the attack from your bishops and rook. This is a zugzwang move as the king is forced
- Bc6# - Your bishop moves to b6 and checkmate. Opponent’s king can not move as it is blocked by friendly pawn and g1 is attacked by your bishop. This is how you can mate in 2 moves
- For right move - Your under-promotion to a knight was necessary to end the game in two moves. You moved wisely
- For wrong move - You could have promoted your pawn to a knight to mate in 2 moves. Do not stop trying
