I don't think they needed to use google... The puzzle is slightly easier than you make it out to be. Wink

Well, its not easy, but not very hard either.

You know, when you set it up like this, you know there is mate in 3,4 or 5 moves, and pattern recognitions has much to do with it. Problem is to see this in games.
