    It’s a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what

      That King needs a snack first though.

        No, the pawn does.

          No, I believe it’s the King. Otherwise, the movement of the pawn will create an opening for white Rook to take the pawn next turn, check King forcing movement, then Rook takes Bishop for free next turn.

            Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

              Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

              Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.

              Oop, you’re right, no I missed that one rook entirely. Guess it is a “brilly” 😂

      Just capture the queen with the pawn next to the king

          I don’t know what those letters mean so I can only assume it’s chess speak for “good job you win”

            Rook takes pawn (on F7). Checkmate, white wins.

                Firstly, the king can’t make it there from where it currently is, and secondly, if the white rook is on F7, then F6 is still in danger.

                I think you mean G6, which is attacked by the pawn on H5.

          I don’t know what buying a new graphics card will do for them
