    @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.

      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.

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

        Education is extremely important.

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

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

          What fucking knight is going to F2???

          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

            There's exactly one thing he could reasonably mean.

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

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

                      The board’s upside down. F2 is white’s KB2 in the old notation

                      I was only joking

                        B-e3 wins. White has to give up the Queen. If Rxe3, then Q-h1 followed by Rxf1 mate.

                        I looked up the actual game online because I'm a saddo, and black actually played R-f2, which wasn't the best move, but black won anyway after white blundered with n-d3

                        I was only joking

                            Presumably you two mean Bishop to King 6?

                            It's bad enough that you're using this antiquated system, but you're doing it wrong too! 😀

                                Rxe1 seems to be a good move. You’d get the queen.
