wow, ez checkmate

 

[EOTFOFYL]

My first guess of how it went was:

Nf3, e5, e4, Nc3, Bc4, d6, Ng5...

which doesn't seem right at all as it's Black's turn and Qf3 hasn't happened yet. Back to the drawing board:

Nf3, e6, e4, Nc3, Bc4, d6, Ng5, e6, Qf3

At which point I realized "hang on, it's
still Black's turn. Since it's 'checkmate' that implies that it's White's turn." Either I'm missing something or this is an impossible boardstate.

Regardless, neglecting the f7 square was pretty dumb and you can see that set up from a mile away. A h6 alone would have helped defended this. Might as well play Nh8 and pray you can still hold.

Edit: What we see

@EOTFOFYL
I agree

to clarify for others:

anne had two turns in a row: one when she said 'checkmate' in chapter 26 (previous chapter), and the 2nd in this chapter

looking at the board too: anne (white) needed 6 turns to get to checkmate:

turns:
1. knight forward
2. knight forward (again)
3. pawn forward two spaces
4: bishop forward
5. queen forward
6. queen takes black pawn, to checkmate

but britney (black) only moved 3 or 4 turns
1. knight forward
2. pawn forward once space
3. turns: pawn forward two spaces (one turn) or 4 turns: pawn forward one space twice (so 2 turns)

so britney should have her 5th turn to save herself from checkmate before anne's 6th turn

Playing around with a real board I just noticed Qg5 which should pretty much end the attack on f7:
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 e5 3. Bc4 d6 4. Ng5 Qxg5
Slight change same outcome:
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 d6 3. Bc4 e5 4. Ng5 Qxg5

Notation reader for everyone else: https://chesstempo.com/pgn-viewer.html

Some ways to fuck up after being allowed such a setup:

1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 d6 3. Bc4 e6 4. Ng5 e5
5. Qf3 Nh6 6. Bxf7+ Nxf7 7. Nxf7 Nd4 8. Nxd8 Nxf3+ 9. gxf3 Kxd8

1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 d6 3. Bc4 e6 4. Ng5 e5
5. Qf3 Nh6 6. Nxf7 Nd4 7. Nxd8 Nxf3+ 8. gxf3 Kxd8

1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 d6 3. Bc4 e6 4. Ng5 e5
5. Qf3 Nh6 6. Qxf7+ Nxf7 7. Nxf7 Qh4 8. Nxh8 Qxe4+ 9. Be2

Winning Move that probably should have been shown:
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. e4 d6 3. Bc4 e6 4. Ng5 e5
5. Qf3 Nh6 6. Bxf7+ Nxf7 7. Qxf7#

From screwing around I can only conclude that Black burned a move somewhere and completely ignored Qg5 entirely which I suppose would make sense since she wasn't paying attention. It definitely should have been Black's turn, author fucked up, but it wouldn't look pretty when trades start.

Well...it was clear to all of us that Anne cheated (because the author didn't give a damn about chess' rules) but so what, Anne is cute! That's all that matters! xD

I see multiple moves to block that.
