Black Qh7, after Be5

Anyways, good moves BTW. In most cases less than three.

**EDIT**
DOH
nevermind... I stand corrected.

1. Be5 Qh7
2. Qd8#

You mean Qf6# right.

No check on Qd8.

Yuo got it right ;)

No, Qd8#. The king is on G8. So that's mate.

1. Be5 Kh7
2. Qh8+ Kg6
3. Bf3 Qf6#

This is the one I was talking about. I misread your mate For Kh7 instead of Qh7. We weren't discussing Qh7 to begin with. I know that one. ;)

chessmaster 10th is the best for starting out, and it does beat most chess books-it has the training w/ josh, whatshisname, with the thousands of annotated games, along with the greatest games of all time, and it has the blunder alert, always a good thing, and the engine is pretty good, not quite the latest fritz, but good enough for anyone but a grandmaster. all of the opponents in CM10th are really over-rated, especially the engine itself, (it rates me at about 2300-and im more like 1800) but for learning chess, from beginners to intermediate, it is the best. now with 3-d glasses! it has online play, but its not as good as the icc.

That one is good too, but the above one is quicker.

They are the same. You can't end on black mating :). Qf6 isn't a valid move for black anyway.

black's move BTW...

Kh7, Qh8+
Kg6, Qh5?
Kh5

or

Kh7, Bf3
Rg8, ...


1. Be5 Kh7
2. Qxh8 Kg6
3. Bf3 Qxd6(or any move)
4. Qg7#

So it delays the mate by 1.

That doesn't delay mate by 1. It's been #3 since the Be5 move. We weren't counting the Be5 move.

Black does have another move you have not considered
1. Be5 Rh7 (white doesn't even have a continuing check much less mate in 2)


It is still a won game for white but not mate in 3.

Rook, H1-G1 ; ...
Bishop G2 x D5 DSCHK; D7 - G7
Q X Q Mate


I could be wrong, i wrote that up real quick



Chess

One world
Made of Oak,
Two armies,
One white,
One black,
Each trying
To control,
Dominate,
Destroy
The other.
Not knowing,
Without the other
It ceases
To exist also.
The white king
Declares ?Charge!?
Let us win
This holy war.
With such
An emotional attack
One might think
Black might
Be defeated
Easily.
But?
Black counters
Whites offensive
Quickly,
Effectively,
Strategically,
Cold yet logical,
Waiting?
For White
To error.
Waiting?
The Black King
Terms his losses
As acceptable.
White moves
For the Kill.
Leaving himself
Exposed,
Waiting?
A bad position.
ATTACK...
A Blacks Knight Forks,
CHECK?
Whites Queen
Is lost,
The Army
In disarray.
A Black pawn
Promoted
To a Queen.
Two Black Queens,
One White King.
Check, Check, Check,
Checkmate?
No.
Desperation, Love,
Holy War.
White
Refuses
To die,
To be defeated.

Stalemate!

The War
Begins again,
Forever to continue.

Yes WHITE HAS MATE in 3. You have no idea what you are talking about. Black can NOT extend it. I want you to make blacks moves.

1. Be5 Rh7
2. Bf1

Make your move

I'm going to look for it this weekend. Its only 19.99 but I find their website horrible and online playing from what i read on the forum fails a lot.

P.S.

I found the following website online for playing just Chess Red Hot Pawn; it's online correspondence chess. I signed up for it with the same user name as on ATOT.

If you want to play me look me up, specially Sao123, Five40, DaShen, who have been very helpful.
