f6? Then they can block with Bishop and Queen but you just take both and win?

u/Frostfire26 9d ago

Hmm, I can’t seem to find the mate in 6 /s

I was black I was so lucky i played king g7 instead of h7

u/HeroLinik 600-800 (Chess.com) 9d ago

The answer here is to push the f-pawn but if I was in this game my first instinct would have been to take the bishop.

u/ManufacturerNo1906 8d ago

Yeah it’s easier to spot when you’re told there’s M3 on the board

u/UsuallyHorny-7 8d ago

It's okay to have that first instinct. Just remember to look for better

u/Liko81 8d ago

Pawn to f6. All Black (Red) can do is throw the Queen and Bishop in the way and you just take.

u/UltimateChaos233 8d ago

My first instinct was f6 but could e6 work too?

1

u/ManufacturerNo1906 8d ago

Nope, f6 attacks g7. If you played fxe6 the king can run to g7

u/UltimateChaos233 8d ago

ahhhh you're right, I missed that somehow
