  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.
