| Jul 12, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | Damn it Pawns, you failed me ! They were my first choice, but I just can't see how they can inflict mate. Whenever I tried with them, my King could escape the check either by moving in C4 or C5 (depending on where the B6 pawn ended up). Please, no more hints now, I feel babysitted ._. | |
| Jul 12, 2019 at 18:21 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | The Rook is definitely the one though, I just have to find the "trick" (hence the title !) I'll figure it out from there, no more assistance needed :p | |
| Jul 12, 2019 at 18:18 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | Well, I don't seem to find a situation where the pawns will be able to inflict the mate, unless I have the full cooperation of the Black Player, but since the Black Players is actively trying to avoid the selfmate, I couldn't even count on him to promote his Pawn into a Queen even if I forcibly lead one to the end of the board, wich only leaves the Rook. The Rook must be stuck ASAP though, and in doing so, I'll create a situation where I can't move my Knight, and I also need to move the piece that shackles down the Rook, otherwise, I'd be able to avoid the mate by capturing the Rook with it. | |
| Jul 12, 2019 at 17:30 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | Yeah, I noticed ever since I answered that. I feel like I'm close to the answer, but every time I think I've figured it out, I notice a way for the Black Player to prevent me from doing what I want (I like to assume the Black Player will do anything in his power to prevent me from selfmating (gosh, this word sound wrong on so many levels)) | |
| Jul 12, 2019 at 9:31 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | Well, that's why I asked if I had to assume I was the White Player. If I'm the White Player, I'm not allowed to make choices for the Black player, so, if, at some point, the Black Player is allowed to make several move, I must find a solution to the problem for each different possible choice he could make, right? | |
| Jul 11, 2019 at 16:05 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | There is no way for me to always limit his actions for 8 turns straigth to only one move by constantly checking him. At some point, he will be free to move one pawn or the other, right? | |
| Jul 11, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | Dorian Fusco | I'm new to chess enigmas, so I have a couple questions : when you say "8 moves", are these 4 white moves and 4 black moves, or 8 of each ? Must I assume I am the White Player (i.e. should all of the Black Player's moves be forced by mine?) Should I assume the White Pawns move upward, and the Black ones downward? | |
