Rook takes knight.

Then either pawn takes rook and a4-a3 blocking in white rook followed by king takes white pawn and c5 pawn promoting to queen followed by checkmate. Or rook takes bishop, rook takes rook, a4 promotes to queen. Etc.

Anyone here a fan of chess variants? Trying to get into spartan chess myself. Very counter intuitive and it seems like black has more of an advantage than white.

Nice idea. But I want to get my normal chess to a decent level before trying the variants.... That said, spartan chess sounds more fun than elf chess or star trek 3d chess.

Still not as decisive as the Rd1 solution given at the start of the thread. White moves Re3 and blocks the check.

I haven't played chess since Grade 8, when our teacher made us all sign up for a tournament despite most of us (myself included) barely knowing how to play. In one game I lost after only five or six moves.

The only move to avoid checkmate is Qxg4, so at least that much of the solution is obvious. From there I see some paths to white victory, I'm not entirely sure whether or not black still has a chance at that point though.
