Fellow NESA Club Players,
A different group got the right answer to the Fifth Chess Lesson Problem. The answer was that after 24. ... Nd3 25. h4 Qf4+ 26. Kg2 Nxc1 27. Qxc1 Re2 28. Rxe2 Rxe2 Black got his second fork of the game and won directly. It's possible the move ... g5 could also have helped set up a mating net.
Now we move to the Sixth Chess Lesson Problem. In this one it's important to note that the Black a-P is poison. How does White get an overwhelming attack on Black if Black munches the a2 toadstool?
Good luck!
