Black to move. Bishop takes knight. Checkmate. What am I missing here?

E: oh it was white to move. The triple fork doesn’t matter. White should move the rook across to below the bishop.

Sorry I don’t get the UI. Did white just move the knight? Or is it whites move?

White just moved the knight, black to play

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, that’s mate in one.

I’m wondering why white would move the knight like that for the triple fork. I was thinking white would move the rook. Still white is in bad shape here.

It's not mate in one, it's mate in two. White can block the bishop with the D pawn.

Kc5+ - Bxc5+
d4 - Bxd4#

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oh yes, of course. You are right. The pawn buys one extra move.

[–] takenaps@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bishop takes d4?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

So mate in two. Not in one.
