white's best moves

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so obv any two moves with the knight will put you in check with the king, and that means the king will either shift parity or not. if he chooses to remain in white tile parity, he creates the risk of being checked by the bishop, so if he's smart he'll move to a black piece after you move your knight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does black queen on the next move?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

white to move

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

we can use algorithm also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess f8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just keep checking the king until you get your knight over to the other side of the board, then let the pawn get queen and take it if you can

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

bishop can only check limitedly

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

think. don't rush :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm aware, you have to be creative, and i do too. i think there's some way to force the king and/or knight onto the left side of the board

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's why i have no definite answer yet

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

very creative indeed or knock the board off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i would resign but i still go with f8

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

bishop to F8?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

d2-d1 promote to Queen

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

to think of the white's best moves, one must consider the black's winning moves too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then h5 + wins queen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trying to find a way to sack both pieces and stalemate, but i don't see it

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

I see it very clearly

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

there is no way the white can stop the pawn from becoming a queen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stalemate?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

Bb5- e8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i said f8 but it was e8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bishop can't go to f8!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

laughing out loud it's why I was confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then black can't queen on the next move

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

threaten the black with screw as it advances its pawn to becoming a Queen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at least i wrote this right then h5 + wins queen

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

black's best move is Kf3-g4

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

then white Be8-d7 +

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

i think from here you can see the stalemate = draw

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

fundamental techniques of screw with bishop and fork with knight
