I think it’s possible in 3.
King to f6, then advance the pawn on g5 forward twice for mate.
Solution?
1.a4 c4 2.bxc4 Ke7 3.Kg7
Solution
Tap for spoiler
Not quite, it’s:
1.KF6, C4
2.G6, C3
3.G7#
Actually, it’s mate in 3.
I came up with
- Kf6 c4
- g6 c3
- g7#
Edit: when I plugged this into lichess it confirms mate in 3. Good puzzle.
Why did you plug this into lichess ?
To make sure I had the right solution. It picked a different set of opponent moves after the initial king move, but they don’t really matter anyway so it’s a wash. Plus, I just found out about that feature and wanted to use it.
