NSC 190 ♔♛♘♞♖♝ ~checkmate! SF results~

[Lonter]

C6 to C5, black forced to do B5 to B4, C3 Pawn takes B4?

 

[Veronika]

white king to C5

black pawn to B4

 

[Ewigkeit]

C3 to B4

 

[Veronika]

white pawn to B4 / killing the black pawn and checkmate!

Comino (white king) qualifies and Redwood Republic (black king) gets eliminated!
omg! Calypso killed Rumia.
Rumia, why did Calypso kill you? Oh, maybe because it's dissatisfied with your signature on the forum.

 

[Veronika]

Ok, despite the fact that the pawn-Rumia was killed in the previous riddle by pawn-Calypso, we decided to change the votes rules of the game and give Rumia one more chance!
So, here we go! this is our last riddle for tonight!

Riddle #25!
Both semis

You need to make 2 moves here!

 

[dogmeat]

white bishop to e1

 

[dogmeat]

after that queen to checkmate depending on what the black does - c1 if they take the bishop, c4 if they move the e pawn, g1 if they move the f pawn, f2 if they move the bishop

 

[Lonter]

Huh, I'm struggling with this one

C3 to E1, blocking movements. Then it gets either eated by the black king or black moves one of their two pawns, and in all scenarios there the queen can checkmate?

 

[Veronika]

white bishop to E1

black pawn to E1 - killing the white bishop / the black pawn also promoted to a Queen

 

[dogmeat]

queen to g1

 

[Ewigkeit]

C5 to G1

 

[Lonter]

Oh, black was heading down.

Then fine, then just Queen takes Bishop.

 

[Veronika]

white queen to G1 / killing the black bishop - checkmate!

Rumia and Calypso qualified
Zechonia and MatiMati got eliminated!

The black bishop (Doire) was killed, but then it turned out that it's immortal, so it didn't die and NQ!
YOU CAN'T KILL THE PQs NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY!

[Morty]

I'll wait a bit with my NQ results, as red and green is a bit of a problem to me, and I wanna make sure I didn't mess up anything in my results. But congrats to all the qualifiers.
