The first published chess puzzle was the 'Indian Problem' (left). It was printed in The Chess Player's Chronicle, in 1845. Can you solve it?

That was hard... (for me)... I would have done Re1+ and Bxf3 after the Kings retreat...

good puzzle, but in a way pretty pointless. As long as you were a fairly descent player, you'd eventually win against blacks meger 3 pawns and knight.
