If the rook is in fact immune then the move is almost certainly good.
I think you meant:
Qd6 Qxh8 Qc5+ with forced mate (Kd2 Rxc2+ Nxc2 Qxc2+ Ke3 Qd3#)
That was very clever I would not have seen it.

Yes, correct. It was late and I'm not used to typing the coordinates.

Qd6 is right, of course, the interesting continuation is Nxe5, but even after the exchange and development of the white rook, mate is forced.

Anyone checking out the Leela AlphaZero derived chess AI?
Its on Lichess so you can get rekt by it. Chess Network covers a bunch of the interesting games that its played. Here are some interesting games:

Love watching it since it likes gaining incremental space advantage, taking e5, and going down major pieces.

FYI the Carlsen-Caruana title match starts today (games at 3 pm London time).
Predicted to be a more interesting and closer affair than the previous two.

8 games in.... who will break the stalemate? Still some seriously good games though.

Darrell: that was an excellent recap, just the sort of depth I was wanting. If you come across anything similar that's up to date, I'd love to see it.

Fivethirtyeight has a recap for every game (a longer one though)
