    I I haven’t played chess beyond the never read the rules, never played with anyone serious, elementary school level. I don’t know when anything other than the most basic movement is allowed. What is brilly?

      The main place that people play chess these days is on chess.com, and if you review your game afterwards, it will tell you which of your moves were good, bad, or in this case: brilliant (“brilly”).

    It’s a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what

      That King needs a snack first though.

        No, the pawn does.

          No, I believe it’s the King. Otherwise, the movement of the pawn will create an opening for white Rook to take the pawn next turn, check King forcing movement, then Rook takes Bishop for free next turn.

            Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

              Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

              Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.

    Doesn’t black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?
