Hi Alvin,

Try thinking outside the box.  I do not have a free board to check right now, 
but Hugh and I are almost done with a game and I will re-check soon to see if 
there is some mistake.

Did anyone else find a reasonable answer?  If so, do not reveal it just yet.

Richard

  Richard,
  The extra point makes this one impossible for me. I must ask: Is the layout 
correct? The answer is surely hidden to me.

  Good Morning Puzzlers,

  This problem is from Larry Evans' book "Chess: Beginner to Expert" available 
on tape from your NLS library.  Note the book uses descriptive notation not 
algebraic.

  This is the first problem worth 3 points.

  Since it is Friday, as usual this is the last problem for the week.  I will 
post my answers and some analysis on Monday for list discussion.

  Problem 10:
  6rk/
  1bp2Q1p/
   p2p4/
  1p2p3/
  5N1N/
  1P1P3P/
  1PP2p1K/
  8

  Points: 3
  Black to mate in one.
