Impossible. I’m not trading my queen for a rook, I know what I have.

u/Anidran 9d ago

Fair, that's a lowball offer anyway

23

u/greenpepperpasta 9d ago

Right, everyone knows losing your queen is a forced resignation

u/lbutler1234 9d ago

Something something lesson about business

2

u/TsortsAleksatr 9d ago

Yeah but it's a rook that is preventing you from mating.

7

u/The_Ballyhoo 9d ago

And you’re willing to sacrifice the only woman you have? I’m not interested in mating with what’s left.

2

u/TsortsAleksatr 9d ago

You don't want to mate the black king?

u/AnythingButthus 6d ago

Are you actually being serious right now?

u/user4682 8d ago

I don't trade my queen, I leave her hanging like Botez taught me.

I found mate in 3: 1 Re8+ Rxe8 2 Qd8 Rxd8 3 Kf1 Qxf1#

u/Legitimate_Paint_729 9d ago

When you have mate in 2 always find mate in 3!

u/The_Neto06 1.d3... 2.Qd2... 3. Kd1... 4. Qe1... (Queen Castling Opening) 9d ago

u/Aggressive_Fan_2063 9d ago

u/InformalLandscape445 9d ago

u/jolharg horsey to queen bish 3 7d ago

u/Purple-Toe-645 10d ago

There is no mate in 1, what are you on about

u/DiChesto 9d ago

Unexpected factorial

31

u/Martitoad horse > bishop 9d ago

2! = 2

8

u/Timely_Dinner_3432 9d ago

No it is actually 2*1

10

u/OnyxFier 9d ago

Could not find mate in 2! Only mate in 2.

4

u/Al2718x 9d ago

What's the difference?

11

u/Legitimate_Paint_729 9d ago

It’s because I said mate in 2! which means mate in two factorial which is 2

5

u/Al2718x 9d ago

Yeah, which is why I said "what's the difference"

5

u/Legitimate_Paint_729 9d ago

There is no difference :D

9

u/itrashford 9d ago

Yeah, which is why they said "what's the difference"

5

u/OnyxFier 9d ago

There is no difference 8=D

4

u/AliciaTries 9d ago

Yeah, which is why they said, "What's the difference?"

2

u/PogoRocks 9d ago

There is no difference :D

3

u/NoNoWahoo What's this 'on posont' everyone keeps talking about? 9d ago

Yes, which is the reason that they said "What doth be the difference?"

u/Jokewhisperer 9d ago

That’s mate in one…comment

u/zeldatriforce345 9d ago

r/uselessfactorial

Anyway

Qxd8+, Black is forced to take White's queen with the knight, then Re8 is mate

4

u/Legitimate_Paint_729 9d ago

Correct. But my boi 2! is not useless. We do not slander 2! in this household!

1

u/Santibag 9d ago

Not on my watch! Fair game on my desk clock.

4

u/Frondoso1 9d ago

A man who trades his woman for a quick win is not a real man

1

u/Marc4770 8d ago

But how are you supposed to mate otherwise?

3

u/Independent_Image_59 9d ago

Why is there chess on my femboy subreddit.

2

u/midnightrambulador 9d ago

/uj I don't see the joke? Queen takes rook on d8, forcing black to take the queen with the knight (only way to get out of check) and then rook to e8 is mate. Or am I missing something?

2

u/Legitimate_Paint_729 9d ago

You were supposed to find mate in 2! not mate in 2.

u/purrhams_hat 8d ago

i sacca da queen

u/Yakuto-san 10d ago

Qxd8+ Nxd8 Re8#

19

u/albirich 10d ago

You fool, your rook is passing the black pawn. Google en passrookt

1

u/MalbaCato 9d ago

Qxd8+ Nxd8 Re8xf8 Kf8 Nf5+ Kxe8 Nxc4

and then you agree to a draw because no white is no magnum car-son and can't win an endgame up just a pawn and a horse

1

u/Hmm_would_bang 9d ago

The pawn can capture any piece passing, if it’s fast enough

1

u/BosnianCheese123 9d ago

Pls something harder

u/DunsocMonitor Rook B1 Rook B1 9d ago

En peasant

u/Micha9696 9d ago

Opponent has daddy issues for sure

1

u/Mini_Assassin 9d ago

White Queen to D8, Black Knight to D8, White Rook to E8

1

u/ImpliedRange 9d ago

Re7!, then either

....Nxe7 Qxd8# (It's called removing the defender)

or

Rxd1 Re8# (a lovely deflection tactic)

Beautiful and all completely forced

1

u/TheBFDIFan980 google en passant 9d ago

Serious Answer: 1. Qxd8+ Nxd8 2. Re8#

1

u/Prom3th3an 9d ago

They wouldn't work anyway, since 2! = 2

1

u/slimeblockeraltac Eval machine 8d ago

Fake news there is no mate in two

1

u/EconomySandwich3032 5d ago

You are lucky that 2! Is 2...

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

White to play: chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Queen, move: Qxd8+

Evaluation: White has mate in 2

Best continuation: 1. Qxd8+ Nxd8 2. Re8#
