I think the chess one is bugged. I've entered every possible move for the board I received and none of them worked. Edit: figured it out

I think the chess one is bugged. I've entered every possible move for the board I received and none of them worked.
Edit: figured it out
- ghayes 3y agoIt worked for me, but I had to include `Rxb6+` for the capture and the check.
- saikaushik 3y agoIsn't Q×h6+ the best move for white, since there is a mate in 1 after that move. Am I missing something?
- messe 3y agoThe game is selected at random each time you play, so depending on which you get the solution will differ.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoEnter without ×.
- Rosalyn 3y agoCan you please tell me? I've been stuck on it for an hour and a half.... I really need help ;-;
- nabakin 3y agotl;dr K = King Q = Queen B = Bishop R = Rook N = Knight Pawns have no letter . You append a "+" to the end when it is a check move You append a "#" to the end when it's a checkmate move You add an "x" when your move eats another piece . Examples - Moving a rook to g6: Rg6 - Moving a queen to d7 which eats a piece: Qxd7 - Moving a bishop to a3 which checks the opponents king: Ba3+ - Moving a pawn to e5: e5 - Moving a queen to h7 which eats a piece and checks the king: Qxh7+ - Moving a pawn to f4 which checkmates the king: f4#
- rkagerer 3y agoI learned more from your concise post than I ever have from articles, Wikipedia, etc.
- 9dev 3y agoFor Real. I finally understood chess notation.

- Tistron 3y agoThanks for this. What if two rooks can both get to e5, how do you disambiguate?
- bonzini 3y agoUsing the column they are on, or the row if they are both on the same column. For example Rac8 moves a rook from a8 to c8, R1d2 moves it from d1 to d2.
- TheDreamPolice 3y ago[dead]
- kuboble 3y agoThere are few more. Rae1 - rook a to e1. if two rooks on the first line can move to e1. R4d4 - if two rooks on the 4th line can go to d4. Ngxh2# - the knight from g captures on h2 with checkmate. Nd2e4 - In a rare case that there are 3 knights that can go to a single square Pawn captures are denoted as exd5 (pawn on the line e captures a pawn on d5) even if there is only one pawn that can make a capture.
- have_faith 3y agoJust adding promotion - d8N# pawn moves and promotes to a knight resulting in checkmate (it can happen)

- jayelbe 3y agoI couldn't get it to accept a move which involved the knight jumping over a hostile piece. It was definitely the best move (I fed it into stockfish and got the same response). I refreshed the page to get a new puzzle and got a new street view as well. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Edit: Oooohhh, I think I forgot to add a + for check!
- Potterqueen23 3y agoHow tell me.
