What is Legal's Mate?

国际象棋中Legal的搭档是什么?这是一个开放式陷阱,以华丽的女王牺牲为特色。白方允许黑方吃掉后,用两名马和一名象完成了令人惊叹的两步将死。

How It Works — Step by Step

Step 1

The pin that enables the trap

Black has played the bishop to g4, pinning White's f3 knight to the queen. This looks strong — but it is the prerequisite for Legal's Mate.

Step 2

Nxe5!! — the queen sacrifice

White ignores the pin and plays the knight to e5, apparently offering the queen for free. If Black takes the queen with Bxd1 — the trap is sprung.

Step 3

Bxf7+ — the first move of the mate

Black has taken the queen. Now White plays Bxf7+, attacking the king. The king must go to e7 — the only legal move.

Step 4

Nd5# — checkmate

After Bxf7+ Ke7, the knight delivers checkmate with Nd5#. The king has no escape. Three minor pieces delivered the mate.

Common Misconceptions

Myth

Legal的杀是一个万无一失的把戏,总是能赢得皇后或游戏。

这并不是万无一失的。如果白方没有正确准备(通常先下h3),黑方可以用...Nxe5 来回应Nxe5。黑棋没有拿走皇后,而是赢得了完整的棋子。

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Legal's Mate

列戈尔的将杀是一个涉及女王牺牲的开放陷阱。白方允许黑方吃掉后,用两名马和一名象强行将死两步棋。

你可以通过允许对手用他们的主教钉住你的f3骑士,然后用Nxe5牺牲你的女王来做Legal的配合。当他们拿下皇后时,你先玩 Bxf7+,然后玩 Nd5#。

不,列戈尔的杀并不总是有效。如果白方在没有适当准备的情况下下 Nxe5,黑方可以简单地下...Nxe5。这样既保护了主教,又让黑棋留下了一块棋子。
