In your opinion, when..

The knight moves first. 

Okay what's the answer? I SWEAR I'll be honest about the answer I came up with.

1. Nf5ch!    Ke8 

2. Qxf8ch!  Kxf8  (this is where I told my wife  2. QxB)

3. Rh8 mate.

I put Nf5   Kd8  Qxf8  Kxf8 rh8 mate. I thought that would have been easy, but what if black's queen takes white's queen instead of black's king taking it?

Look in my eyes

Can't you see the core is frozen?

You can't ask me to access the dreams I don't have know

Sadly for us

Our little talk is over

So together we will endure the tyranny of the disallowed

Don't you love port blanc

when Hooterie is over

When the girls get easy and the crowds are gone

A weekend of bliss

Then the rainy season

I'm way deep into nothing special

Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of hollywood

I already mentioned those two solutions, Orange.

This has taught me a lesson to triple check any problem I post.  

HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!  Now you've got two black queens! But I'll pretend it's white. Kf5+  Kd8 Qe8 Ke8 Rh8#.

Right, the laugh is on me! So much for my triple checking.  I hope to improve in the future.  All this is new to me.  I have much to learn about posting diagrams. At least you are intelligent enough to know that is a white queen. 

It IS easy to goof those things up.

I am discovering that to be a fact.  I am not going to admit how many times I did that diagram over.  I did get it correct the other times I posted it, except for leaving out the pawn.  I have yet to post a diagram in which the chessmen move.  Whatever that is called.  Anyway, I am having a good time with all of this.

For the chessmen to move, you have to have that pgn thing, I believe.

Is there any hope for me?  

Thanks.  First, I must learn how to post the simple things, which of late I have not done very well.  This is all new to me.  I have had computers since the 70s. My first one was a Texas Instruments early model that had to be connected to a TV. However, I only use computers for what I want to use them for and don't get into all of the other things. I now have a MAC Mini. I really like it for what I want it for, but again, there are many things I will never use. 

At least it was a nice, easy puzzle.

For sure! Not to mention I have had fun laughing at myself. 

I have played in tournaments since 1994, sometimes I still fell like a beginner.

-I think the first time I didn't feelt like a beginner was when I won a game after finding a good plan and my opponent understood it too late. (the plan) Not the usuall beginner win, take a pice dropped by another beginner.

Sometimes I feel like a beginner when I fail a Tactics Trainer exercise. I say to myself, "Duh, you should have seen that!"
