It’s called the ladder trick because the moves 1.Re8+ Rxe8 resembles pulling the ladder from beneath the black queen, removing her support and causing her to “fall”.

2019年11月1日 · Re8 isn't check. If you mean Rd8, that's not mate either since there's a bishop on d6 (that is what was moved last) and there's a number of different blocks

2021年10月8日 · Hypothetically if you play Re8 now white has alternatives even though you’ve saved your rook. (Bxe6+, fxe6, Nf3, Bc5). It creates an isolated pawn and you’d rather have your rook on an open file anyway regardless of the bishop pair you grant your opponent. I think/assume Rg8 would be marginally better but I haven’t checked.

2019年2月14日 · Chess notation is a convenient way to keep track of games, so that you can replay them to study tactics, understand mistakes, or impress your friends. Try out chess notation in your next game - you'll find that nothing is more satisfying than that well-placed exclamation mark after the move that wins...

2013年5月19日 · Regardless it's clear that Re8 improves black's position in several ways. He gains the option Bf8 when among other things rook lends protection to e6 which may occasionally be vulnerable otherwise. White's pawn and bishop on the e-file are all bit loose. Perhaps most importantly, black often does play e5 and exf4. One such line goes 12.

2024年4月7日 · Note that Re8# is guarded by the bishop in this line. Basically Black sacrifices the Queen to prevent White from sacrificing the Queen. The irony makes this puzzle even more brilliant. FWIW, it's not a forced mate but escaping will cost white a fair amount of material which will likely cost the game eventually. for White. 1... Rxh2?? (1... Qxc4+!!

2024年2月21日 · Why is Re8 a good (even the best?) move for black in this position? I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine: My solution:

Chess notation systems are used to record either the moves made or the position of the pieces in a game of chess. Chess notation is used in chess literature, and by players keeping a record of an ongoing game. The earliest systems of notation used lengthy narratives to describe each move; these gradually evolved into more compact notation systems.

In general, Re8 gives White no rest and no compensation, while d4 allows White to play an easy game. If you thought White would take the rook w/ Queen, then that's a great continuation for Black.
