18.Qf3+ is better then 18.Qe3


Thegoobkid
yeah but how do you get to f3??
Markle

 

 What do you mean how do you get to f3? simple move the queen from f4 where it is currently at to f3.

20. Kd3? I don't see myself winning by putting myself in check.

17. Kf3! e1=Q 18. Qf2# mates faster.

Why not 4.exd3? Which direction is it anyway? 1-8 or 8-1?

Comment: A waste of time because queen checks and forks pawn and king and then king moves to support king every time. 


Thegoobkid
king  moves to support the pawn you mean...

 I assume you mean Qg2# as Qf2 and black's queen will capture

 Yes, it is.  The point is that every time the black king moves in front of his pawn, white gets a free move.  That's when the white king moves in for the kill.  The trick is to force the move in front.

By figuring out the basic pattern of checks, forks, and pins by the white queen, you can do a 20 move calculation quite easily!
