I know this position. In the sims 3 there is a popup somewhere about someone becoming worldmaster with a record mate in 2.

It caused a decent in trying to find if that was even possible, and i found this one, the position in the picture where black has won in two moves. But in reality you pretty much need your opponent to just hand it to you to work.

If you get top chess skill in that same sims game there is a situation where you get a popup that beat that have record with mate in one ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I never bothered with that one but anyone feel free to try and find it.

Its certainly peak sweatiness, but its not unbalanced.

It’s quite unbalanced tbh. Really both players should move simultaneously instead of giving one player the advantage of going first

That's not first move advantage, that's racism.

Gotta keep the black side down, so they declare a "white advantage", and skew the results to make themselves out as the "winning side".

You may already know this but for those that don't there is a common idea that blacks initial goal is to draw rather then win.

Just have your king do a perfect counter when the Black Queen moves to attack, duh
