So, like I promised, I'll be bringing lots of chess content to Steemit! This one is a little contest for 5 Steem to the first valid guess. If you'd like to see more chess content on steemit, please upvote and follow! I am still working on my absolute beginners guide to chess which I will be posting over a long period of time on steemit.
My goal is for my guide to take an absolute beginner to chess and slowly explain the fundamental concepts that you need to know to improve! Who knows if steemit will enjoy this content, but I'm going to try it anyway ! :)
Rules of the contest:
White to move and win. In other words, your moves must give white an undeniable advantage. Do not just submit one move, please explain your moves a little better: in this case, white's winning move will force a black reply, and you must prove that you see why your original move works with white's second move. Make sure you specify your moves so that it is unambiguous which piece you are moving and which square you are moving it to. If you don't know algebraic notation, you can just say something like "Queen to h4", etc.
Difficulty
I'd say this one is pretty easy for anyone rated around 1600 and above FIDE or USCF. Don't be discouraged if you can't figure it out right away - you might be the only person trying to solve it!
