    I spent so much time trying to figure out the solution, only to check the game to discover that white’s actual play was to tank for 30 seconds and then resign.

        Maybe, but I’m going to assume the GM is better than I am lol. I didn’t find a winning line for white after staring at it a lot longer than he did; just amusing that someone posted a puzzle with no solution.

    Only one move doesn’t lose the game for white:

    1. Rxa8 Bxe2 2. Nd7 Qxc2 3. Nxf8+

    White has to give up his queen to force a perpetual check.

    How do I send this board to lichess stockfish?

    Also, someone please tell me the counters for this: White Qe4 check, then White Queen takes the c6 pawn, a few swaps and then white is up on material.

    I’m missing something super obvious. (Ultra casual player)

      You can use the browser extension for chessvision.ai, which uses the same technology as the Reddit bot. Anyway, this is the Lichess analysis board

      After Qe4+, black can defend with f5, and white can’t protect the queen and the rook at the same time.

    Move the king, then work with the knight and pawns. Hopefully get white queen out and pick off the black bishop to free things up a bit.

    I suck at chess though
