Hello, this is my 48th chess problem:![Cool]( "Cool")
White mates in 2
I haven't check this puzzle with an engine as I have difficulty downloading the file. I hope It got no cook!
So there is one. Thank you s0030135 for finding one.![Embarassed]( "Embarassed")
Now, see if you can find another after I made my correction.
Please see my edited post No.1 and try to mate in 2 again.
Sorry that I mistakenly made my comment a puzzle.
Ok. You are bright solver huh! 1. Rf2!! is a "waiting for the day" move.
CONGRATULATIONS, You have solved this problem!![Cool]( "Cool")
Why wouldn't black go Kd3?
Why wouldn't black go Kd3?
Then white mates with Nc5#.
This problem featured 3 different change mates.
A look at the diagram reveals that Black is in zugzwang. If it is Black to move the set mates are the following:
a. ...Kd3 1. Qxh7#
b. ...d3 1. Rc4#
c. ...e2 1. Nf2#
Plus other mates: (...Bg6 1. Bxg6 and ...Bf5 1. Qxf5#)
After the waiting 1. Rf2!!, the changemate I referred to were:
a. 1...Kd3 2. Nc5# (instead of Qxh7#)
b. 1...d3 2. Qc4# (instead of Rc4#)
c. 1...e2 2. Qf3# (instead of Nf2#)
Any comment?![Cool]( "Cool")
Why wouldn't black go Kd3? nc5mate......how about p.d3---
Then white mates with Nc5#.
Why wouldn't black go Kd3? nc5mate......how about p.d3---nc5 + does not cover the escape of d4
Then white mates with Nc5#.
Why wouldn't black go Kd3? nc5mate......how about p.d3---nc5 + does not cover the escape of d4
Then white mates with Nc5#. does not cover d4, Qc4 +allows kxq
Why wouldn't black go Kd3? nc5mate......how about p.d3---nc5 + does not cover the escape of d4
Then white mates with Nc5#. does not cover d4, Qc4 +allows kxq
For less-industrious solver, please check comment no. 10. The complete solution is posted there including the change mates.
