Is the chess puzzle broken?
White has 3 bishops, 2 of which are on black, and G1 to D4 looks like checkmate but isn't the solution? The walkthrough says H3 to H4, but wouldn't that only last a turn, which D5/H3 to F/B3 would do just fine?
Unless the queen is the king, but then h3 to h4 would be an illegal move...
idk I'm not good at chess but it seems kinda sus to me
maybe if you moved g1 to h1 and swapped d4 to a rook it would make some sense...
If you move the Queen from H3 to H4, it attacks the king. The king can't move to E7 or G7 (because there are black pieces), can't move to E6 or F7 (bishop attacks those tiles), can't take the knight on G6 (defended by a pawn), can't move to E5 (attacked by the knight), can't take the pawn on F5 (defended by another pawn), can't move to G5 (also under the attack of the Queen). The king is under attack, can't move in any of the 8 directions and nobody can take or block the Queen in H4.
Now, I haven't double checked if there is another solution in quite some time, but the one proposed in the walkthrough is absolutely correct.
I think missed the knight, so you're probably right about that. now that I look at it, the black rook ends up blocking the bishop move anyway. I guess I really am bad at chess for a reason.
Well, I found a minor visual oversight at least; there's still 3 bishops. It's probably safe to swap the leftmost white-on-black bishop to a rook.
It's all good, better safe than sorry.
In theory, you can have 3 bishops if your pawn gets promoted and for some reason you decide to turn it into a bishop instead of a queen. You are right that it does look weird, but I'll leave it like that for now (it's been like this for a while). If a new bugfix update is needed, maybe I can change this as well at that point.
