      no beacause castle mate you can do easily if he only has a king, you havent castled and you have 2 queens but en passant mate you need a very spsific position and you need who you playing aginst to give you en passant@@golendorfjules1838

    This achievement and the rare king checkmate achievement (discover checkmate with the king) are both achievable with the famous historical game "the perfect king hunt" by Edward Lasker, but not at the same time obviously…
    He could either move the king up check mate or long castle check mate

      ​@@1.0will Sorry bro but you're just wrong. That's just going off notation. FIDE literally classifies castling as a king move. "Under the FIDE rules and enforced in most tournaments, castling is considered a king move, so the king must be touched first; if the rook is touched first, a rook move must be played instead." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castling#:~:text=Under%20the%20FIDE%20rules%20and,move%20must%20be%20played%20instead.

      Gotham Chess did a video of what appears to have been an **actual game by players who were genuinely seeking to win**, in which a player had a move available which would have won by checkmate, but instead played a not-quite checkmate where the opponent's only legal move was to win by checkmate.

Halfway through the game the 1400+ elo lost his queen and I hadn't castled so I thought I'd give it a go. Happy to say I can now say I'm a member of this very prestigious club!

  • @brandonunderwood7668
    @brandonunderwood7668 Před 3 měsíci +5

    You’re playing the wrong opening to get the achievement fast. I got it playing the nimzo where the queen side knight comes out then you push queen pawn 2 spaces, get the bishop out then king side knight and king pawn 1 space to get the other bishop out. This allows you to be able to castle to either side. Also there’s some tricky lines in the nimzo which forces the opponent to castle queen side which puts you and them in the position to be able to castle into mate.
