Now how fun is that. That could be a great puzz. for a friendly wager. I see the reason for the under promotion. It would'nt work otherwise. Thanks for that.

No you couldn't, because it will be stalemate if you don't promote to knights and offer them up.

Great puzzle. I don't know about Chessmaster though, I gave it the puzzle and it figured it out. By the time it finished it though, Chessmaster had been working so hard that my computer started to overheat! No joke!

Really...I never had situations like that but sometimes it gives nonsense information in the blunder alert.

sometimes it give me stuff like this:

Leads to Rc1#, which leads to no exchangeof material. Better is $*#$%!&...Innocent

Some of chessmaster's stupidity:

This is chessmaster's great blunder alerts:

Leads to 2.Qxa1 Bxa1 3.Rh7 d5 4.Kf1 Kd7 5.f4 Kd6 6.Rh6+ Kc5 7.f5 Bf6 8.Ke2 Kc4 9.Rg6, which wins a queen for a rook. Unfortunately, there is no better move.

Hangs the queen. Leads to 2.Kf1 Qxd8 3.Bxd8 f6 4.Ke2 Kf7 5.Ke3 Ke6 6.Kd4 g5 7.Ba5 f5 8.Bd2 h6, which wins a rook for a queen. Unfortunately, there is no better move.(Notation: black's queen is pinned by a supported rook.)
