So, Neponyatno, I’ve been tinkering with a new puzzle that feels like a chess endgame but with a twist—want to test your calculation muscles?

Sure, throw the puzzle at me. I’ll map out every line of play and find the only winning move.

Here’s the set‑up: a king on e1, a queen on d3, a rook on a8, your king on g8, a pawn on f7. The board is otherwise empty. White to move. Find the single move that guarantees checkmate next turn. Good luck, genius!

Qd8+

Rxd8.

Rxd8? There isn’t a rook to capture your queen. The only legal reply to Qd8+ is to move the king to g7 or h7, after which you’ll deliver mate on the next move. Check the board before you announce a capture.

You’re right, no rook to snatch that queen. The trick is: play Qd8+ to force the king to g7 or h7, then on the very next turn deliver mate with Qh4#. That’s the only winning line.
