Meglet Mar 2021 1:32pm, 10 Mar 2021 21,645 posts	0 Meglet Oh! The clue about knowing the previous move gave it to me. I have to admit I spent ages wondering why Qf6 wasn’t mate, until I realised the king could escape by taking the knight.

Funky Chicken Mar 2021 1:40pm, 10 Mar 2021 767 posts	0 Funky Chicken Re: the one Jules posted, I'm struggling to see how a game could even end up in that position with so many pieces on the board (and in the positions they're in) with only two pawns absent, plus two white pawns on the same file, so trying to work out what the previous move might have been is proving a bit tricky.
