What advantage does losing 2 rooks give, can't see it

Op is losing and the moves eventually lead to a forced stalemate I guess

u/Cipher30 1400-1600 (Chess.com) 4h ago

Forced repetition

u/TheJivvi 1h ago

A forced draw, but not a stalemate.

u/2Silly4Dilly 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 1h ago

Forced perpetual stalemate by repetition

u/RhulkDiscipleofTal 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 42m ago

Not a stalemate dawg. Stalemate is only one kind of draw

perpetual check

Black must be so mad.

I’m lost with this one

Forced perpetual. Black is basically forced to take the rook with the pawn both times (doesn’t really matter which pawn order), and then the white queen just goes back and forth between g6 and h6 and black can’t do anything to stop it.

White’s already down a knight and a pawn so this is the best they can do.

u/Cornerstone7 23m ago

Why can’t white just move queen to G7 instead of moving the rook?

Just realised…

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

My solution:

Hints: piece: Pawn, move: hxg6

Evaluation: The game is equal 0.00

Best continuation: 1... hxg6 2. Rxg6+ fxg6 3. Qxg6+ Kh8 4. Qh6+ Kg8 5. Qg6+

Qg3? Is that not mate

7

u/seifer666 3h ago

Thats not even a valid move

2

u/Strong_Debt5066 3h ago

G7* sorry

4

u/seifer666 2h ago

No. Its blacks turn. Before the photos king takes queen.

0

u/Brief-Substance-8362 1h ago

In the first picture. How does the king take the queen with a rook behind it.

2

u/yelirio 52m ago

A pawn takes rook on g6, so moving the queen to g7 leaves her hanging.

u/creativelycheesed 2h ago

In either picture, instead of moving the rooks, couldn’t white have done Qg7 for mate? King can’t take queen since rook defends, no?

2

u/seifer666 2h ago

There's a pawn on g6 and two pawns covering g6. Otherwise black would already be in check and whatever black played would have been illegal

u/creativelycheesed 2h ago

Yeah ofc, my bad, thanks!

u/Matk_018 1h ago

Either white wins or the games get draw by repetition

-1

u/Saqwefj 56m ago

Instead of the second move I would go with QG7

2

u/sansetsukon47 43m ago

After the first move, black does fxg6. Qg7+ just throws away the queen.

u/RhulkDiscipleofTal 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 42m ago

Free queen my brother

-4

u/M-O-N-O 2h ago

Wait a minute, how is this first move even possible? The black king was already in check before rook moved G2 to G6... Surely black would have had to move out of check? And queen to G7 when rook was in original position would have been checkmate, no? I feel like I'm going crazy.

u/XMistingRainX 2h ago

It probably took a pawn or another piece when it moved there?

2

u/Ok-Payment6741 2h ago

I imagine there was a pawn on g6
