white to move and mate in 60
Sort:
i think you confused g5 with b5 and h3 and h4 with a3 and a4
this puzzle tells about king tempos, & is not a bad one so learn from it,,
but the lesson could be granted in a short manner
An amazing puzzle indeed.
A forced mate in 60 moves. No way to do it faster than 60 moves if black plays best possible moves, and no way for black to prevent the mate. Wonderful!
That's a very nice puzzle 
It's funny that the king has to "hide around the corner" to do a triangulation, because else the knight can check him.
It's funny that most people who don't understand it, conclude that it must be a bad puzzle. They'll never improve their chess, because they're not open to the fact that the puzzle may be correct but that they just don't understand it.
this puzzle doesn't violate the 50 move rule because black moved a pawn.
i'm glad you all liked it
Good puzzle, Calvin.
Chessmaniac,
Your puzzle sucks. Also, it's not a puzzle. I find it funny that you call it "a real mate 60."
wow, this post has gotten more comments and views than any other of my posts. thanks
update: now it's in 2nd place
Indeed a great puzzle..key lied in the fact that king is immovable.
ha
If it gets the point across, it's a good one. And this is a very good one.
draw?
thanks, but i don't think this would happen in any game because black would have to be stupid to trap his pieces like that
why the black move root only when the white move its king
if he moves his knights, white will mate him. so he has to move pawns or rooks, moving pawns lets white mate quickly, but moving rook delays it
lol this is ridiculous!
Once the king is on b5 and the rook is on a3, if:
Kb5 Ra4
Kxa4
Then every black move will succumb to checkmate.
