		daynthelife 25 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 1D Chess It frustrates me that the site does not give the strongest defense for black. The position is mate in 6, not 5: 1. N4 N5 2. Nx6+ K7 3. R4 N3+! 4. K2 N5 5. N8! Kx8 6. Rx5#

You give "3 ... N3" a !, when it is literally the only legal move the black has.

The site plays Kx6 instead. You're right though that I was generous with the exclams; all the moves are easy to find in reality.
