Thanks Richard, that is one move I did overlook!
Glad I am not playing that game, smiles!

So I am assuming that my first suggestion dxe6 is also not correct?

Back to the drawing board, smiles.

  Hello Chris,

  Take a look at my comment to Edward regarding the Qxa8 move as part of both 
your solutions.

    Hi Richard and all,

    Okay, here would be my first choice:
    1. dxe6

    This opens up the d file for the white rook, plus advances your pawn to 
threaten the black pawn on f7 and possibly the black queen, while your queen is 
still threatening the white rook trapped on a8.
    A possible senario might be:
    1. dxe6  fxe6
    2. Qxa8  Bc7  
    3. Qc6...

    I know there is several senarios depending on the choices black makes.

    My second choice would be:
    1. Qxa8

    Chris

      Good Morning Puzzlers,

      This problem is from Mario Lang's puzzle web page at

       and is reported to be from Fred Reinfield's book "Win At Chess" 1958.
