What’s your next move w/ black?

(if I'm reading the pieces right - Queens are the spikey crown)

[Klaus]

Knight to f2, then mate in the next round with Queen h1.

What coordinate system are you using????

[bachophile]

There is only one international system for chess boards. The abcd/1234 system. No more knight to rook 2 or whatever.

It’s not the fucking metric system. Stop being American provincials

The old system went out of date fifty years ago

Reminds me of how my piano teacher can only think in do re mi for notes and laughs at me when I say G for sol

[Mik]

Well, I don't really play..haven't for years, so I wouldn't know.

I don’t play much either. But I’m great at international standards and measurements

Seems like this should work. Maybe there's a catch.

[Doctor Phibes]

Doesn’t white answering Knight to H2 stop the mate?

[bachophile]

@Doctor-Phibes I think Rf2 would accomplish the same thing but if the knight moves to h2 the queen would capture and mate

No, because the King can then take the black queen.

[LuFins Dad]

The obvious answer is to simply demand the racist homophobe white king surrender in the name of equity. You are a black queen, after all…

[bachophile]

@LuFins-Dad no I think the knight has that square covered

The white knight blocks the queen at H2. She can’t get to H1. If she takes the knight at H2, it’s check but then she’s taken by the K at H2, safe from the knight.

[Horace]

Based on puzzleology, I guess Klaus' answer, while tempting, actually doesn't work, and even leads to a mate of black.

What fucking knight is going to F2???

There's exactly one thing he could reasonably mean.

[jon-nyc]

So then translate it into standard chess coordinates because I’m seriously confused

[Horace]

The knight advancing 2 and 1 to the right.

+1 Black Rook protects the Knight.

But the white knight will block the black queen from putting white into checkmate.
