Do you feel like playing a game of chess to take a rest from the daily heroics? Now is the time.

Baldur's Gate 3 has many unpredictable twists and one that I definitely didn't expect was being put into a chess game and having to finish it within two turns.

This might catch players off-guard, especially because you only get three attempts and any wrong move will cost you a life.

Thankfully, the solution is not too hard to find but if you are not that into chess, here is a quick guide on how to get past this obstacle.

Players who find themselves in the Chamber of Strategy in Baldurs's Gate 3 will need to make two moves in order to finish the game by forcing a checkmate against the black king.

The solution is to play just with your queen. From her starting position, move her to the top right corner.

After that, move her horizontally into the position where she is attacking the king and is being protected by the white rook at the same time.

That's all it takes to get past this room and while it may sound simple in hindsight, bear in mind that there are people in the world who are not fans of chess. 

In fact, there are many who don't know the rules as it never caught their interest so don't shame your friends or acquaintances if they get stuck on this room!
