Hello everyone, Asorski signing in.Cool

Today, July 10, 2012 I am posting here a chess problem I've seen between rounds of Philippine Open 2007.

Again, I never know it's Originator/Composer.

Can you solve it? Goodluck!Cool

Hey Sharma and BlessedStar, show us the full solution. We thought you two are just guessing.

Yay I got the solution

Avatar of Asorski

Sorry Sharma but the solution is so obvious.

Reminder: A great composer would not create a problem with a very natural key move!

1. Qxa8 is answered by ...Ra6! or ...Rc8!
