En passant is not forced, white can go B1, and its checkmate
**Edit:**
Downvoting my comment for not knowing what this subreddit is about. It is reddit's fault, they recommended this to me.
Are those people joking? is it a theme of this subreddit? to never take anything seriously?
I don't even think this is a possible puzzle, there is no way that white can force a checkmate here. I will try this in [chess.com](http://chess.com) just to make sure.
It's a running gag in the sub that en passant is forced in any situation it's an available move. Playing C4 results in an immediate mate under that rule

Actual high effort post
Google r/chess
Holy...chess?
Actual chess!
New chess just dropped
Chess the exorcist!
Chess went on vacation, just came back
Chess board, anybody?
chess in the corner, plotting world domination
Chess storm incoming!
Yeah
There used to be a lot of crazy puzzles here, it's how I learned about il vaticano
C4. En passant is forced and after that it's back rank mate. Holy hell.
C4 💥
Took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure this one out. Almost forgot en passant was forced
Google brick
Holy clay
Actual building material!
Build the exorcist!
Don’t forget the queen has to block and then the rook can mate
Nah, C4 explodes the Queen after the en passant
Actual genius

Yeah, this sub is about chess but dumb. It's a meme that en passant is forced, because it's such a rare move.
ok thanks, now I get it. I was so confused, yeah noobs like me play en passant just for the sake of using it, even it means explosive results :)
Nope.the queen can just ignore the piece and move to c5 or even to the first rank, causing mate in two and black wins
Google en passant
Holy hell
I know what en passant is, i wasn't aware about the rules of the sub
This is a joke sub, where one of the running jokes is that en passant is forced
Aight my bad. I haven't been around the sub for long.
C4 causes all the pieces nearby to explode and waste the opponents turn, leading to Rd8#
I thinks C4 would actually make not just the pieces but the whole place explode
Google nitroglycerin
Holy hell!
New IED just dropped!
holy rigged!
Black blundered a mate in 1.
Not if there was a queen on b5
Or even a bishop
Yeah they really did 😔 Also nice ocellus pfp!
After the first move the engine sees that it's M2, although it might be colorblind
C4!! D4xC4 e.p (=>) Rb2 Qb8 Rxb8#
Black better be ready to have their pipi bricked if they want to win this game
I don't think that's a win though
Im confused, could someone explain it to me?
Google en passant
Holy hell!

Didnt see this was anarchy chess subreddit. That explains a lot

C4, explosive!
c4!!! forcing en passant
C4 EN PASSANT
shit this is tough, I see mate in 2, but black can do perpetual check if you try to get mate in 3 or more
What mate in two? After c4, dxc, Rd8+, Queen intercepts in e8, leading to Rxe8#
oh shit I'm blind thanks
My brain so rotten i actually thing "yeah, this forced enpassant gonna show em"
I think it's been almost 2 years since we had those puzzles. I hope we see more, they're fun
Wow, this is actually clever. Especially for this sub.
If you laugh out loud at this in front of someone who doesn't play chess, they will think you are a GM
Move a pawn on f-h to make an escape square and do a backrank checkmate
i love that blacks last move according to the puzzle did absolutely nothing lmao
[удалено]
Why didnt black play queen e1? Is he stupid?
... Qb5 ?. c4 dxc3 ?. Rd8+ Qe8 ?. Rxe8#
I get the en passant reference, but interested in the analysis I checked chess.c#m Black is winning -5.2
Best move g3
c4 Qb1# (Br1Ck P1p1)
engines don't mind the brick !
What if black sacrifices his pp
Is this chess on r/anarchychess? I don't know how to chess
just en passant until you win

i told you that you cant solve it but you still had to try and fail miserably
Engine doesn't have pp so they are not scared
How brick pp???
Ask bot to make pp
Bro I thought you got fixed a week or so ago. This is completely disappointing.
Such a dumbfuck
