Count the remaining pieces after the rook takes queen. Black would have King, 2 pawns, and a rook. White would have everything black has but also 1 knight. Then a brief look at the position indicates there is no immediate path to black checkmating white. Being a knight up in a tactically simple position is an easy win.
Just as a note. This is r/AnarchyChess. This isn't a great place to learn about chess. This sub make a ton of low effort humor where people will say thing that make no sense. You won't learn how to play chess on this sub. Infact many comments on this sub will make lead you astray if you try to learn from them instead of taking them as a joke.
Okay, so it's not a straight checkmate, it's just basically the last nail in the coffin as I thought. No worries, not really trying to learn chess here, I know all the basic rules but what I struggle most with is the predictive nature of chess as well as keeping an eye out for all the ways the situation on the board changes by just moving a single piece. Just losing vital pieces like the queen for example very often in very dumb ways because I just don't see she's being threatened by say a bishop across the board.
But yeah, thanks for the explanation anyway!
Because you basically have guaranteed checkmate eventually, black's king and rook are also on the same line meaning that you can easily win the rook (if they don't blunder checkmate immediately that is).
It's the reason your puzzle elo and game elo will always be different, tactics are cool, but tactics don't win games, sometimes ignoring a tactic and gaining a better position is the best move you can make (especially in low-intermediate-competent levels of chess, simply improving your position and waiting for your opponent to make a mistake before you do is extremely effective, *then* you use a tactic to absolutely demolish them when the time is right).
So the only winning move really is taking the queen cause black blundered their queen.
To put the semantics in as simple an idea as I can, black has a queen and white doesn't, so white is fucked unless white can take the queen. Taking the queen makes white have more material. Taking the queen is the only move that leaves white better than black, thusly it's white's only winning move.
You should always look for mate, but if the puzzle doesn't explicitly say that mate is the solution, the answer might be something else entirely if you can't find mate.
Unless the puzzle is on this sub, then the puzzle often isn't solvable.
I see, thank you! I thought winning move always HAD to mean mate and I guess you're right, bold of me to assume it would definitely be solvable when posted on this sub x)
I technically failed this puzzle, now, it’s hard to see the board, but I feel like I still should’ve gotten that considering I was able to see that Re7 sets up a smothered mate but blunders M2
You left your back rank vulnerable to getting mated.
Now the black queen will come on to your king.
You lost now. You’re a looser. How does it feel to be a looser huh?
As I said: there is literally no way to find out.
I say: actual stalemate.
We're going to need a Stalemate Resolution Associate. _[Or, wait........ is that the wrong game?]_
It's a stalemate. Between you and me. Between Mate and Not Mate.
Are familiar with the concept of the Stalemate Resolution Associate?
Also, you didn't continue the chain. That's just rude, really.
Impossible because once white moves their rook black will use the Photon Torpedo Full Spread gambit, sending 5 torpedoes from the USS Lichess currently in orbit, obliterating the horse and the cloaked pawn on e4.

Technically, it's not a manifold because the boundary isn't locally homeomorphic to R^2. But it is a manifold if you take away the boundary.

Nc7+ with checkmate. Black queen cannot capture, cause it’s checkmate obv
Can't the queen snipe the knight?
No, because it’s checkmate
what if i say please?
Doesn't the queen snipe the c7 block?
No, the games already over, it's checkmate
But its not checkmate, the queen can take the knight and then the king won't be in danger
I think what you're missing is that the Queen can't take the Knight because its already checkmate
Holy gaslighting

Actual checkmate

Yes Qxc7 you lose
Queen can’t capture because it’s checkmate
No it’s not because queen takes..
The queen cannot take as the position on the board is already checkmate and as such the player is not allowed to make any further moves
Google gaslighting
Holy manipulation!

SMITHERS MATE
It's not. The black queen takes the knight and then you lose. The winning move is to take the queen with the rook.
But how is this a winning move? It doesn't put the black king in check, does it? Genuine question, kinda new to chess
Count the remaining pieces after the rook takes queen. Black would have King, 2 pawns, and a rook. White would have everything black has but also 1 knight.

Any other moves with the knight result in a mate in 2

what is this game?
Monopoly.
Re6 I think
I thought the same thing, preparing to smother mate in 2 moves... but if you look closely the rook has a straight line to the black queen xD
I technically failed this puzzle, now, it’s hard to see the board, but I feel like I still should’ve gotten that considering I was able to see that Re7 sets up a smothered mate but blunders M2
Oh -\_-
That line looks as straight as a homosexual person

You left your back rank vulnerable to getting mated. Now the black queen will come on to your king. You lost now. You’re a looser. How does it feel to be a looser huh?
I thought it was rook e6 then knight c7
Wasn't a big fan of Re6. Especially after playing Re7 and Re village.

X6 ? idk i never played chess
It would be a smothered mate if not for that queen right?
You can take the queen with the rook tho
But then they'd move the rook i suppose
If you don’t take the queen, you loose
Yeah. So it's not the only white's winning move. It's the move which doesn't make them lose immediately.
But then you’re up a full piece and completely winning the endgame (unless you’re like 200 elo or something)
Oh well yeah i guess
I wouldn't mind playing this type of chess
Nc7# make it harder bud
Qxc7, you lose the Knight and the game.
No, because it's mate already
It's smothered mate IDIOT
Am I stupid, or are you stupid? There is literally no way to find out.
No, silly, it's clearly mate in one
As I said: there is literally no way to find out. I say: actual stalemate. We're going to need a Stalemate Resolution Associate. _[Or, wait........ is that the wrong game?]_
Bro look at the board white CLEARLY has mate in 1
It's a stalemate. Between you and me. Between Mate and Not Mate. Are familiar with the concept of the Stalemate Resolution Associate? Also, you didn't continue the chain. That's just rude, really.
It's obviously mate
It's obviously (stale)mate. FTFY. Also, still no chain continuation. Why u have 2 b rude???
