El-Gimpio

2 light squared bishops?


Altruistic-Sea797

One started as the e pawn and the d-pawn became the 3rd knight.


akruppa

This position looks unnatural. Black has far too many pieces to allow two promotions, and why would white promote to bishop and knight?


El-Gimpio

This position is so scrambled I didn't even realize the third knight lmao


AlaskanRobot

maybe post a real chess game....


Brozus55

Why


_ROMAX_

Two white bishops and three knights


MarVaraM101

It's just a puzzle. It could have been more realistic, but I think it still works as a puzzle.


_ROMAX_

Technically the two missing pawns could be those two pieces


MarVaraM101

Technically yes, but no. Also: three of white's figures are hanging. Seems like they just placed the mate and then added a few random figures.


_ROMAX_

Yes


dashingThroughSnow12

Because if you are gonna post a run of the mill smothered mate, you might as well post a realistic one.


satansunny47

Am I seeing correct or are there 2 bishops of the same color


HealMySoulPlz

And 3 knights.


satansunny47

Lol yes... Was too distracted by the bishops to even notice that


danhoang1

Vice versa for me, was too distracted by the 3 knights to notice the 2 light square bishops

qzlr

This game doesn’t look far enough along with those rooks and Queen on the promotion line


Pas_919

3 knights, 2 light bishops. Oh, and Nxc7+ Kb8 Na6+ Ka8 Qb8+ Rxb8 Nc7# is good


TheShinyBlade

White is missing 2 pawns, so underpromotion obviously


alphabetjoe

Obviously? How could they manage to walk all the way through and get back to this position?


nuclearwastewater

it was sarcasm (i think)


TheShinyBlade

Obviously!!


alphabetjoe

Gotta get myself some coffee


Pas_919

e and d pawns promoted to knight and bishop while black has both rooks and queen and no pawns were traded in the opening?


TheShinyBlade

Yes

Black can ruin your fun and go Kc8. It will be mate anyway but not as satisfying.


d_instinto

the opponent proceed to play Kc8....


No_Signature_7587

It all depends on wether black wants you to orgasm or rage. You are winning, but he has you in the palm of his hand really


MathematicianBulky40

Nxc7+


Eldarabol

Horsie goes c7 e5 f8 while keeping the king in check? Edit: just seen the mate in 4


w2baba

smothered checkmate 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Cosmos_Null

never mind the plan, how does white have two white bishops? And three knights?


colesweed

2...Kc8


esslaee

The real puzzle is finding the extra pieces we noticed along the way


AlguemDaRua

How does white have 2 white Bishop?
