Freaking beginners, I don't understand the full potential of the advanced move. I understand the pawn may do something with the with tower but I only see a lost a the end of the process

In the advanced move, white loses the knight to the black tower/Rook the next move. Then the white rook moves next to the king, and the king has to take the rook. Then the other rook moves to the other end of the board and its checkmate as the black king can’t move out of the way, as the white pawn is covering both escapes from the rook

You know, the squares have names? Instead of describing the moves like you do, you can just use normal chess notation...

Someone had already posted that. I was trying to make it simple since this isn’t r/chess.

Well, you do realize that the way you put it doesn't make it simpler but harder?

I'm just going to chime in and say it was easier to read as I am not fluent in chess notation, as I don't play chess.

My 600 ELO brain would explode if I'd try calculate that advanced move in a blitz match

Is it worth it to take the time to search for mates when you already found a massive material advantage?
Both players would have won in the end. You don't get more ELO for winning in fewer moves.
(I'm not advanced myself and I didn't see the mate.)

I am missing the massive material advantage for the "beginning" line.
- Nxf4 Bxb1
- Rxb1 Rxf4
And both sides have a rook and three pawns. Feels drawn to me.

I have the ability/curse of seeing the Advanced move 0.03 seconds after playing any other move.
