This is a game that I recently played on Duolingo, I was behind on material and almost out of time. I was able to activate my rook and give a couple checks. He kept moving his King closer to mine to provide assistance to his queen. That’s when I made the final move. I didn’t even see that it was checkmate until after I moved! I only had 10 seconds left.

White to play

Let's get to know each other! You can use this simple format: Hey! I am from ___________. I am rated ___________. For fun I like to ___________.

FEN: 8/3P3k/n2K3p/2p3n1/1b4N1/2p1p1P1/8/3B4 w - It's white to move. The problem is if you play pawn to d8, promoting to a queen, black would play knight to f7, with a royal forking, you'll lose your newly promoted queen. You might think black is winning here, but what if I tell you white will win if play correctly, the secret is your bishop and the g-pawn.
