Tricky
Hard Puzzle
Sort:
that was stupidly hard!!!! because i didn't see the navigate solution or animate, and you had so many different "solutions" that didn't lead to the correct answer! >:( no seriously, good puzzle though, bad layout, don't ever use that chessproblems.com again lol.
Haha, yeah it's hard to see the solution even with the lines on chessproblems.com. You have to supply all the moves there though or else the computer won't know where to move. Well, at least you have to on any problem with mate in more than 3. I put all the lines in to make it harder for people to just move pieces until they found the solution. A lot of lines end in WHITE being checkmated, which tickles my funnybone. :-)
Uh...the lady in the lower-left corner keeps saying "Off Path"...
Here's one for yous to try your luck with:
White to move. Mate in 7.
Checking all the lines was incredibly tedious. There IS a solution, but it requires a couple of slick moves.I'm too lazy to figure out how to make a problem here when I just spent more than an hour putting in all the variations on chessproblems.com. When you want the solution, check it out here:
