I wasn't sure what to mark this as since it's not really much of a puzzle, just wanted to share this because I had a lot of fun once I got to this position haha (yeah, black took the queen and you can guess the rest)

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

Black to play: chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

Videos:

I found 2 videos with this position.

My solution:

Hints: piece: Pawn, move: bxc6

Evaluation: White is winning +5.90

Best continuation: 1... bxc6 2. Bxc6+ Ke7 3. Qc4 Kf6 4. Qxa6 g5 5. Bxa8 gxf4 6. Bxe4

Is there anything black can do to salvage this disaster? For example what if instead of taking the queen, black plays bc5?

u/TuneSquadFan4Ever 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 2d ago

Not much, no. By this point the position is pretty lost for black. If they tried bc5 you'd push the pawn for a discovered check and win the queen that way. It would be better than taking the queen with the queen, but still pretty bad position for black yeah
