Brilliant Move! Queen Sacrifice!

[Dom-]

This puzzle is from a game between Fabiano Caruana and Wesley So in 2019.

For those who don’t get it, if any of his pieces take the queen, pawn moves two in checkmate

[WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Clip was so good he got Hikaru to switch places😭🙏

For everyone confused
1. Rook takes queen, c4 check, queen takee c4 is forced, b takes c4 check, king has to take, f takes on e5 rook . You're up a full rook
2. Queen takes queen, again same . c4 check, rook takes c4, b take c4 check, king has to take, f takes e5 . You're again up a full rook.
3. Threat is to simply take the queen. If queen moves to a8 or b7 protecting the rook, c4 check, rook takes, b takes c4 check, king has to take, queen e2 check, king c3 is forced . You are again up a full rook.

Brilliant!!!For those who don't understand and think can take a free Queen with rook

1.If Rook take Queen, white pawn to c4, forcing the Queen to take the pawn (because there is no more way for Black king)
2.then pawn from b3 take the black Queen and check the Black King at the same time
3.Forcing the black King take back the pawn and last is pawn from f4 take the rook on e5
4.White up materials which is more one rook

AND

1.If take Queen with Queen, same that white pawn to c4, forcing the Rook from e4 to take the pawn (because there is no more way for Black king)
2.After that, pawn from b3 take the black rook and check the Black King at the same time
3.Forcing the black King take back the pawn and last is pawn from f4 take the Queen on e5

So it's either way white up a rook

*BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT*

Becauze if you don't take it, White will end up to win a rook or win a Queen, and otherwise Black is lose the game in the most worst

i expect the comments to talk about taking the queen scenarios, but if the queen isnt taken, what are the threats? Qb8+ is mate after Qb7 blocking if white were given an extra turn in the position, so black has to guard the check or counter check and the other threat is to just simply take the queen. given that, black is encouraged to play a move that guards the rook and b8 square, which is the move Qb7, guarding the rook and the b8 square or it seems, but white simply plays Qxe4 and fxe4 is simply c4# while Qxe4 is also simply c4+ to force a queen sacrifice and end up with a piece up in an endgame

[adilvasudevan]

A mate that i found (maybe wrong sorry for that)- if black queen takes white queen then pawn c4 is mate. If rook takes the queen then pawn takes and if queen takes then again pawn c4 checkmate if queen does take then push

Pawn bout' to become the main character

[nesletchimaew]

basically whatever happens you're up a full rook with a +28 advantage. Now, what if black did not blunder? the best move for black was actually queen to e4 instead of rook to b4. amazingly, the best move for white is now again queen to e5!!! and the best move for black is not to capture the queen, but to play queen to b4 check!!! the position is +1 according to stockfish at depth 22

Took me a minute to get it but that is truly magnificent

[firandff]

Wow, he plays E5 castle and eats the vizier, then the white pawn eats the castle with E5, then the vizier eats the white pawn with E5, and then white plays C4 checkmate. 😊😮

[TheCuriousMind_]

There is a one comment that said this is a wrong move, it was deleted when I tried to prove he was wrong. He assumed I was the only one in the wrong. Is he even reading the comments?? He's so annoying grrr.

Rook takes Queen
Pawn takes rook
Queen takes pawn
If rook attempts to check black king it gets taken out by black pawn. If it tries to backrank move. Then Black queen moves down the diagonal and check mates the white king.
What did I miss?

[Azerninja]

If rook takes, pawn goes to check and fork queen has to takes pawn the other pawn takes queen, and check again, king have to take rook to stop checkmate! And then other pawn takes Rook, you will win Rook and unstoppable pawn! This Called Winning Sacrifice

For those who says what if Queen takes pawn?!.. you can see it isn’t change it 😅

[JustMoreOfAnAverageAustrillian]

if queen takes queen then we just take back, the rook cant take the pawn because of c4 mate.
ultimately we get a pass pawn
if Rook takes queen, c4 is just mate
if queen just moves, we just take the rook and the king cant take back because c4 mate
if rook just moves to protect the queen. we still take the queen, rook cant take back because c4 mate.
if rook just moves on the same rank we win a free queen.
if rook moves away from the rank, c4 mate.

Y que pasa si la dama captura la dama blanca? Si el blanco jueva c4 la torre negda caprura el peón y como sigue?

[sharanimations]

If the rook takes the queen there's c4 check and queen takes pawn is forced then bxc4+ check forces the king to take the pawn then white can recapture the rook on e5 and be up a peice
