Castling Chess Puzzles
One of my favorite games of all time involves mate by castling. It's very problem-like in its execution:
And yet another problem-like game featuring mate by castling, only this one doesn't use the back-rank motif:
Jerry, you got it, that's the one I had in mind! Also, I think there is some problem involving castling queenside, does anyone know of any?
Around the turn of the 20th century there was a raging debate among problem enthusiasts whether castling was an appropriate move in a problem. I think the resulting agreement was that castling in a problem lessens it's value.
Here are some games in which mate was delivered by 0-0-0 :
This one I have no source info about.
In "The Art of Chess Combination" (1936) Eugène Znosko-Borovsky, playing Black, gives this position from a simul at Dundee in 1930.
Why did you use 3 black knights? I know it is possible to have 3 knights but we hardly ever see those positions. I mean why didn't you put for example a rook on d2 instead of 2 knights? :P
Involves castling in a different way. I forgot who made this one; I think Paul Erdos? EDIT: Nope, Samuel Loyd, 1859.
(2+4) White to move, mate in two.

If you think about it, the king must be blocked INDIRECTLY, so if you use two knights and a rook on d2 (supported), then black simply plays Rd1 after 0-0 !
