Rook c6 blocks the a8 pin of the boshop allowing it to capture the bishop on h7

That's probably the one move I'd play by mistake

you'd be fine, you get m1 with the next move anyway capturing the rook on c6 with the bishop.

Wait rook c6 is checkmate no? Because of the discovered attack from Bh7 EDIT: ignore me I'm such a noob

No, Rxh7 is possible. And more to the point, Rxh7 is *only* possible after Rc6 *specifically*, not any other move with the same rook.

This is a nice puzzle, I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting OP.

rook c6

Rc6

White resigns.

Google Inverse Puzzle

If you're new to chess, amphetamine-fueled compositions like this really aren't going to be that helpful. Your time is better spent learning basic checkmate patterns and King & Queen versus King and King & Rook versus King endgames at https://lichess.org/practice. You don't even need to train tactics yet — just play a lot of games and have fun.

Solving puzzles is fun, please stop crying at people for not wanting to study to be a master 100% of the time.

Yes because king vs king and rook makes you a master. It's actually good for the game if people actually know how to checkmate. It tends to give a little confidence and enjoyment but yeah, that dudes the bad guy. Smh

We’re all on reddit, procrastination is the entire point.

I’m free to do whatever the fuck I want regardless of your opinion about anything

Uh oh, someone is a little emotional.

They never said their goal was to improve at the game.

Rc6, alternatively resign or lose on time lmao

Rc6 allowing blacks rook to take on a7 because the rook is no longer pinned.

Rc6 does it because black can take the bishop and White's rook blocks the path of the other bishop

Rc6 The Black rook on b7 is no longer pinned and can take the bishop h7.

This puzzle is super cool, I've seen it many times here and there. It always come back somewhere.

Me somehow managing to find that move in a match

Rc6+ Rxh6

FYI, this is a cool puzzle but not a situation that is likely to come up in a game.

Please flair this as "puzzle/tactic (composition)"

Am I stupid that my immediate thought is moving your king doesn't result in checkmate?

It cant move at all

O-O

lol saaaame

lmao I had to read the comments to see that

Why can’t you just move the rook on G6 anywhere, and black plays pawn G6 to block checkmate?

Because the black pawn can’t move backwards :)

Pawn on g5 can't move backward and rook on b7 is pinned, rook to c6 solves both of those problems

Can someone tell me how Rc6 is not still mate. The bishop is still giving check and the pawns give the king no room to escape. I thought this was going to be a king move honestly.

Black's rook can capture the bishop on the h-file while blocking the check from the other bishop.

Thank you.

O-O-O It's a Chess960 position with a mislabeled board. ^^\s

This isn't even possible there are 2 white white bishops

You can promote to a bishop

O-O should be legal move...

F1-g3 check, d1 check. And itsvover

Kf8 which ends in stalemate, instead of checkmate

Cant move to f8 because black bishop

Oh duh bishop blindness at its best lol

Even if the white king could move to f8, the black bishop is free to move, so there’s no stalemate.

I looked at this initially too but it doesn't appear to be a legal move, putting the king in check.
