Chess Challenge #3.
Since someone brought up the game of chess on here earlier,here's a puzzle, that may be challenging for some and easy for others.
The last 2 times, you played black.
So, this time you are playing white, and it is your move.
Note that your queen is under attack by black's rook.
What are your 4 best moves in order.
Use K for King, Q for Queen, R for rook, B for bishop, N for knight and p for pawn.
The lower left hand corner is space a1.
The upper left hand corner is a8
The lower right hand corner is h1
The upper right hand corner is h8.
So, for instance, in the situation below,
if you were to move your king one space to the right that would be;
1. Kb4 (or K a4 to b4)
So, what is your best first 3 moves and the best response by black to each move ?
And then what is your 4th move ?
It's YOUR move. Do ya feel lucky ? Do ya ?
May the force be with you.

2. Qb6+ forced move 2.....Bxb6 to save the checkmate. 3. bxb6+ again the forced move 3.....Kxb6
4. Be3#.
hahahaha
It was not bad but worst helpmate.
1.Qd6+ Ka7.( Ka8.2.Qd8+.3.Ka7 etc ) 2.Rxf2 - Rxf2.3.Be3+
Aand White shout win.
2. In the position, what is Blacks BEST move, and plan.
1.d4 - d5.2.c4 - dcx4.3.Nf3 - Nf6.4.e3 - e6.5.Bxc4 - c5.6.Qe2 - a6.7.dxc5 - Bxc5. (main position, for the variation ) 8.0-0 - Nbd7 ( 4 other moves, in this position ( 8, ,,, - 0.0 - b5 - Qc7 and Nc6, For this block how ever, im looking at Nbd7 ) 9.e4 - b5.10.Bd3 - Bb7.( see position ) White main move is 11. a4, to break op the Queen side )But here is my quistion. What is Blacks best move after: 11. Nbd2 - ...
1.Rc8+ - Ka7.2.Qxf2+ - Rxf2.3.Be3+ - b6.4.Bxb6+ - Kb7. and after Rc7+ Black looses the Queen and have the Rook. Shout be easy enough to win the game. )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But this way black wins. But otherwise it's white to win.
1.Qd6+ Ka7.( Ka8.2.Qd8+.3.Ka7 etc ) 2.Rxf2 - Rxf2.3.Be3+
Aand White shout win.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Qd6+ Ka7 then 2. Qd8+ is not possible???
1.Qd6+ Ka7.( Ka8.2.Qd8+.3.Ka7 etc ) 2.Rxf2 - Rxf2.3.Be3+
Aand White shout win.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry 2. Qd8, was in the braces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Qd6+ Ka7, white loses the game or at least the black has the headway...how?
2. Rxf2 here as you expect that black responds with 2.....Rxf2, that's not the case as the black instead responds with 2.....Bc6+
And then the game proceeds like,
3. Ka3 Qh3+ 4. Qb4 Qg4+ 5. Kc3 Qg3+ 6. Qd3 Qxe5+ 7. Qb4 Rxf2 8. Qe3+ Qxe3 9. Bxe3+ Kb8 10. Bxf2
And now the black is one pawn up, that means a slight advantage.
Or did you mean something else ?
1. Rc8+ for the simple reason that that king can't capture 1....KxRc8 if it does 2. Qd8# Then it is must to displace the opponent bishop so that Be3# So after taking about 25 minutes, I could work out the queen sacrifice...because what follows are the forced moves and mate in 3.
2. Qb6+ forced move 2.....Bxb6 to save the checkmate. 3. bxb6+ again the forced move 3.....Kxb6
4. Be3#.
1. Rc8+ Ka7 2. Qb6+ Bxb6 3. axb6+ Kxb6 4. Be3#.
Note: A pawn move notation is by way of mentioning the destination square and if its a capture then by the name of column which that pawn placed in into(x) the destination square.
So in the above example if it was the simple movement of the pawn than a capture, then the move would have been 3. b6.
