5...b1xQb4#

A game ends 5...b1xQb4. What were the previous moves?

Been looking at this off and on for a few days now.

Closest I can get is this.
Anybody got it yet?

I'm not sure I quite understand the question correctly.

That is the answer I got! Except I thought we weren't meant to post the answers here...

This is probably a FAQ... isn't there a way to hide it ?

You can edit the post and remove the board, I don't think the board itself can be hidden, but if you want to hide text then you can do:
[HIDDEN] text here [/HIDDEN]

Doh.. it gets worse.. I don't see an edit link on the post with the board

Hmm, I'm sure there was an option to edit only a few days ago, but I can't see it any more. I guess this one will have to stay 🙂
On the bright side, I think it is the right answer!

Ha.

So that is why. I was looking for a mate on the wrong square!

At least I bumped and up the thread and got a solution out it.
(going to try that ploy next time) 🙂

I got a different answer. Less elegant, but it does the trick.

Yeah adje you have to take a Queen on b4.
Try to pay attention.....

(yesterday afternoon I was at work at my desk trying to take a Queen on b5.)

I don't think that qualifies.. since you need to take a queen on b4
