I've seen that somebody (you) already answered in the post before yours. But the thing is that the FEN said it was black to move.

Can we from time to time post some positions were is black to move? I got a couple positions that are interesting from that perspective.

Whatev.

I just think it's easier to look and analyze the position from the white perspective since we can not flip the board. 🙂

Is my solution correct irontigranpetrosian?

I don't think 4. Qc8 is checkmate because black can play 4. ... Qxc8? Have I missed something again? (I know it's a bit late 😳)

And again.... 😞

It's always good to respect the poster and verify for the correct answer (even though you're sure about ur answer, like even mate in one or somethin, it's good courtesy and gives time for others to ponder about the position before it's verified.) and then post your answer. It keeps things organized and structured.

I dunno, it's just silly me, me bein control freak. Whatev...

Please do. Mistakes are human element.

We are all human here and make mistakes like that all the time. I haven't posted any correct solution myself yet, I posted one that was incorrect.

We like your company, please keep posting your solutions.

🙂
