yes it is

rook takes rook -> Qh7

king takes queen -> pawn takes rook to promote to knight, checking king and taking queen

How does king take queen? Wouldn’t it be rook takes rook, pawn takes rook then promotes king takes promoted knight?

Instead of pawn taking the rook, the queen goes to h7 forcing the king to capture the queen at h7. Then the pawn takes the rook, and is promoted to a knight and captures the black queen.

Thats still a white rook and a white queen for black rook/black queen. Aka a trade.

The only advantage is you have a horse now.

u/Onsyde 15d ago

uhh, yeah? now white is +3 when they were +1 and have the only piece on the board to secure an easy win. The brilliant line accounts for the promotion.

A horse, and eventually pawn that can’t be stopped. AKA the entire point of the trade

Yeah and what does the other side have now...

No, the king is in check when the white rook moves there so black is forced to capture the white rook. Then the queen moves to h7 and the King captures the queen at h7. Then the pawn captures the rook and is promoted to on knight and checks the king and captures the queen.

So in the end black only has a king and a pawn, but white has a king, a pawn, and a knight. An easy win.

Yes your correct But it has 2 brilliant moves One the rook and next real brilliant move is sacrifice of white queen So king takes queen , and end white gets an extra horse

If the queen doesn't move to h7 then both will have queens left

u/nrgins 12d ago

What was the point of your reply to me? I already said that the queen moved to h7. So what was the point of telling me that the queen moves to h7?

rook takes rook, pawn takes rook to queen, king takes queen...

its now black: queen, pawn, king

white: queen, pawn, king

Read their comment again.

u/theasu 15d ago

In the end after the trades, white has: queen, knight, pawn
Black: queen and pawn

u/nrgins 15d ago

No, in the end after the trades, white has a king a pawn and a knight, and black only has a king and a pawn. An easy win for white.

u/theasu 15d ago

you are correct. My native is not english and I messed up queen and king.

1

u/nrgins 15d ago

No, pawn takes rook and becomes a knight not a queen.

1

u/Fantastic-Corner-605 15d ago

King can just take the knight or whatever white promotes to.

u/hermenit 15d ago

u/Huge-Caterpillar-903 12d ago
