Hi Puzzlers,
Ken asked about a possible additional solution to Problem 21 (the FEN and
answer are reproduced at the end of this message).
He wondered why Black could not play:
1... Rxg3+
as the first move instead of the posted solution.
I think this is a good question and others may have the same or similar
questions. Since this is a chess discussion list, maybe we should discuss the
question.
Would anyone like to comment on an answer to Ken's question. I have my own
answer, but I will wait a bit to give mine.
Problem 21:
7k/
1bpp2p1/
3bp3/
p4B2/
2P5/
P3BrPq/
1PQ2P1P/
4RRK1
Points 4
Black mates in two.
Solution:
1... Qg2+
2. Kxg2 Rxg3#
