Why aren't we using lichess
After seeing this, I wonder how the game would have proceeded if Black had foreseen the move and accepted the rook's loss:
- ... Rxg4
White could still do Qxg4 to take the rook but then the discovered check is averted and Black is free to move
White should Read settlers
White should read Fanon
pawn g2 takes king g1; pawn h6 takes king h7
the rules only exist to keep the monarchy in power, throw off your chains

There's a 15s ad in the intro and then it's ad-free. If he's doing well and he's in a good mood - he'll keep going. He might stream another ~4+ hours or it might be over soon. I have no idea.
I don't get it, I am bad at chess and maybe I'm misreading the notation
if you take the black rook with the white queen can't the black king just take your queen? what prevents it
Yes, but
___ then white takes the pawn at g7 and keeps the black king in perpetual checks while taking a pawn, the bishop and the queen. Black is left with no pieces and down a pawn.
I forgot to mention the most helpful advice - the board at the link is interactive.
Answer
36.Qxg6 Kxg6
37.Rxg7#
# = checkmate
Does that answer your question?
You don't take with the king, bxg6. But that leads to a windmill which loses all pieces lol
What's to stop the king from taking the queen though?
Nothing. But then white moves the rook to g7 (protected by the bishop, so can't be taken by the king) and checkmates instantly
This is why I hate this game lol.
Windmill go brrr
This is why I'm not a GM
