Thanks, losing Ronove on that particular spot was a pain, and having to sacrifice Lambda is also harmful, but I still have a few red truths to move this game forward.
“Know your place. Furniture doesn’t speak, be quiet furniture. It’s time for me to show you your place. Take this! ”
Idea was that he would have had to move up Beato or sacrifice Lambda. Moving up Beato allows me to move Jessica to D5, putting him in check. The only thing he could do then is move to E6 with Beato. Then Bern goes down to H5, getting Check. Gaap has to move to G4, which Bern then takes and that’s mate.
It should be noted that instead of Gaap to G4, either Gaap to F5 or (preferably) Stake to F5 would’ve also been valid moves in that position, and a checkmate could not be forced. That said, black’s position would still be utterly misrable. I tried it out against a strong computer for fun, having the computer play black, and it was indefensible even for the engine.
“Kyahahahah, why are you so excited?! Could it be that you forgot I’m still here? I won’t go easy on you, so why don’t you just give up and die?! Kyahahahahahahahahah!!!”
