Does Yea Forums like puzzle games?

Whoops, e2, not D7. Had my numbers and letters mixed up.

To the right of the three pawns, right? Isn't that D7?

What's the rationale behind castling anyway? I get that it protects your king better, but it also seems to give them nowhere to run if needed.

It's E2. Look closer at the image; the tiles are labeled

>Whatever space is two right of the the black rook. Right under the third right pawn. Thought I now realize I mistook the white queen for the king.

He then takes the black queen with the g2 pawn. You then fork his queen and king with your knight, but the problem is that when you take his queen, your knight gets immediately taken by the white rook on c5.

This combination does win you a pawn and black is better here, but this isn't resign worthy for white. You have something much stronger.

Does anybody have that thread with the black queen snipe?

What kind of backward shit is that?

this is on the black's side

You expect the kings to swap sides?

>What kind of backward shit is that?

The board is flipped so you're looking at it from black's perspective. Most people find it easier to "play" when the board is orientated how it would be if you sat down at this position in real life and were told to find black's move.

The faggot in OP's pic should've moved the H pawn one tile forward before getting trapped like this shit

Rook takes f2.

White king takes black rook
Black is in the losing position now. gg no re

Can't white then just take the rook? The king is still safe.

I feel like the only right answer involves moving the knight.

Black fucks white's wife

>What's the rationale behind castling anyway?

When you leave your king out in the open, any move that attacks or threatens to attack your king forces you to play reactionary moves and allows your opponent to get you to do what you want as they have the initiative. It also allows you to walk into forks.

Beyond the fact that you're going to end up playing reactionary, defensive chess and also potentially running into forks, you also have plain checkmating attacks to worry about. When you castle your pawns do a really good job of defending your king from forks, checking attacks, forced moves, etc. as the pawns both block bishops along the diagonal and defend all three squares in front of your king along the 3rd rank, preventing him from dropping a knight there.

Castling also allows you to connect your two rooks, allowing them to defend one another or double up on the same file, which is better than having them isolated on either side of your king where they're both weaker and can potentially run into a skewer.

Black Knight @ D4 to E2

D4 Horse to E2, checkmate in 5

I can use an engine too, fag.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

knight to e2, that ends the game

the follow up would've been: rook to f2, queen to f1

It’s Queen to g6. Analyze that move. Brainlets ITT

Knight to e2 sets up rook to f2 which puts white in a no win being trapped in the corner by their own pawns with black rook to f1 or if he takes the black rook, queen to e1 does the same thing.

I mean g3 lol

Is Yea Forums really this retarded?

Knight to F3 (forces king to move to a1 which in turn makes it a mate to [rook to h3]

Always think two steps ahead.

>a1
?????????

I'm a brainlet. Can someone explain why Knight to E2 ends it? As I see it, it puts the king in danger, but can the king not move to H1, rendering the knight and the rook on H3 useless? I'm sorry for being retarded, but can someone help explain this to me?

queen to f3

Yea Forums is full of retards. just throw the chess board off the table and punch the seething whitefag in the gut. then run like hell

None of that leads to mate. Now you either have to move your rook next move or he takes it for free.

It's basically but not retarded

Since no one can take your knight the white king has to move. And the only possible space will be mate to Rook a turn later.

Knight to F3 can be eaten by pawn you baka

...

>rook to f2
why wouldn't white check with queen after that?
