Hi guys.Here is a game I played with a top rated computer chess program.I would turn it into a puzzle.White has a mate in three and he has it with only one piece.Figure out which piece can mate white by playing three moves with only one piece.Hint:Use your brain,dont bother clicking solution  cos i did not put any.Actually ,I dont know how to put the solution(First timer).A little help here guys.Thanks.

Well done bdehoyos.You get to play me for solving the puzzle,that ofcourse is if you want to.But take my word for it,it wont be an easy task taking me on.Think about it

soon my friend , you will receive a challenge

That was simple, really!!

The trick is to avoid temptation and leave the lady alone

you can do a mate with either knight in 3 moves in the same way.

well it seems that black is in a really crappy position so pretty much any combo is going to set white even more ahead! i would start by putting the king and queen in check with the knight on g5.  i dont know if thats the best move but it gets rid of the queen!

 sorry,but you are wrong.Moving the knight on g5 would mean that the king can capture the pawn on f7 and after that i see no way you can possibly check the king again with that same knight.t's only the knight on c7 that can do the trick

Nice puzzle.  In the solution you must also designate the Knight moving, so Nce6+.  I doubt you were playing as white in that game.  Not even grandmasters can put away "top rated chess programs" so decisively like that.

Thanks,well it was one of my good games,there is no need for me to lie about it,it was played by me.Here is the full game just incase you guys are interested in knowing how the game got to the puzzle position.Well maybe i asked for help once or twice,but most of the moves were played by me.I honestly was surprised that I played that well.I think the program was rated close to 2100 or so.You would notice that I also made a lot of errors myself,mostly missed chances.You know how it is,too many attacks i had planned.

Interesting finish and made for a good puzzle.

 

P.S. There is no way that computer program plays 2100 strength.
