So, Im not even from this subreddit, but I’m watching this dumbass movie with my autistic chess nerd... is this mate?

Firstly, there’s (presumably a knight) on f1, a bishop on g2, and no h1 rook despotic being an opening. You would have to actively try to get this position.

Next, regardless if this is a queen or bishop delivering “””checkmate””” on f2, d2 is open. H6 is vacant and blocked on g5. If we assume the piece on a5 is a bishop blocking d2, it also delivers check on e1, making any other moves invalid. There is no black piece on the d-file, and it’s blocked by anyway.

They could have easily used a Stafford gambit mate for this, but instead decided to not even google chess before featuring it.

In summary, this chess game is more autistic than your friend.

P.S. I’m the friend
