Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Chamber of Strategy - Wrong Chess Position

I enjoy chess puzzles too ^.^

All I can suggest is that black is making a scripted mistake when you threaten like that, and it's part of the puzzle. Perhaps black is being characterised as aggressive and the sort who reacts by claiming material to solve its problems, even to their own detriment, rather than evading capture first and foremost?

There's definitely no mate in two there, but I also don't really have the confidence in Larian's design team to prose properly complex chess problems ^.^
