    Very nice. I was searching for Gueridon's Mate and finally found it here. Thanks!

    For a classic chess puzzle, see p.10 of "Prime Curios!" (www.primecurios.com).

    "@ greco's m8: I simply don't get 4 f5?"

    Without an escape square, Black will be mated in 1 (Qh7 or Qh8).  4.f6 blocks in Black's own Queen, so 4.f5 is more logical since it also allows 3 pieces to use the f6 square. It Black's only reply to extend the game a few more moves.

    "How can I get a download?"

    I'm not sure there's a way to download, but if you click on the bottom left corner of each board on the button "FEN/PGN,"  the pgn with the fen position appears and can be copied and pasted into notepad and saved as a pgn, or pasted into winboard or any other application that allows it, and saved in that manner.
