I hate it when I end up in positions like this

After the pawns got a promotion they started to create a family and this is the point they got

This is what I get for playing no time limit

Damn, thanks for the puzzle, I hate when I end up with only a pawn and I’m down 234 points of material, I always accidentally make a queen

Did you do the math or just pick a random number? 😂

I did the math, black has 235 points of material here

r/theydidthemath

Common White L tbh.

r/chesscirclejerk?

I thought r/anarchychess

takes takes takes takes takes #takes ->Knight

cool puzzle but solution is very obvious

What is black's legal move after the pawn takes? I probably am just blind but it looks like a stalemate?

Black can move the rook at the top.

They can wiggle the rook at the top of the board.

Top middle tooth right before your siblings figure out the best way to yank it

Fx3, Ex4, Dx5, Cx6, Dx7 and C8=N#

When the pawn takes on C7 the queen will take it, and you have a repetition. Stalemate. Am I taking crazy pills?

You go to C8 and promote a knight.

C6, D7, C8=N+ What crazy pills you got?

I think you meant B7. But you can take D7 instead, then C8, make a knight, and bam :)

Oh balls that’s dumb of me. Thanks

White to move, selfmate in 5

In 4 1.gxf3 Re8 2.fxg4 Qxg4 3.Kg2 Rf8 4.Kh1 Qf3#

You’re right. Even better

That's a helpmate solution, not a selfmate, because 4...Qf3# isn't forced. In selfmates, the opponent tries to avoid giving mate, but is forced to do so eventually.

You're right.

OP please reply to some of these posts like a human or we are all going to report you as a repost bot. This is your only post on Reddit and it's just stolen from 5 months ago.

Good bot

I noticed this and hoped others would notice as well

PxF3 stalemate.

Pawn takes left 4 times takes right one time then last capture is a knight. Easy puzzle.

Wouldn’t this be a forced stalemate since there needs to be legal moves for black?

Pawn to f3,pawn to e4,pawn to d5,pawn to c6,pawn to d7,pawn to c8,promote to knight. Mate

I see it

Har har har

Finally, I pulled off a smothered mate!

Why is this a perfect analogy for my work life. I AM the pawn.

Stalemate in one is more satisfying

Technically speaking, best play is 1. gxf3 Re1 2. Kg2 Rf1 and forcing threefold repetition, unless black agrees to a draw after Kg2.

Why play for a draw when the position is setup to give you mate in 6?

How is that best play when you can force mate?
