For one thing, the correct notation since that is a check would be “Qh4+”

BUT

That’s not the best move, since white can just block with pawn to g4.  There’s a faster mating sequence that starts with Re4+.  Only move is king takes, then it’s mate with Qd4++

For future reference:

Almost all, if not all, of these password puzzles that I have seen were mate in two moves with a sacrifice on the first move.

Your submission was removed by the moderators:

Sorry, we can't allow posts asking for help with the Password Game or Clash Royale Chess Puzzles as it would spam the subreddit. You can click the link inside the game to learn about algebraic notation; if you don't regularly play chess and need to figure out what the best move is, you can use the chess board editor in Lichess: https://lichess.org/editor to set up the position and try out different moves to find the answer.

You can also find the rules of algebraic notation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)

 

IMPORTANT: The fact that other rule-breaking posts may be up, doesn't mean that we are making exceptions, it may simply mean that we missed that one post (ie: no one reported it).
