Lord Antares Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 1) White to move, mate in 3 2) White to move, mate in 3 When referring to either puzzle, just type in ''1)'' or ''2)'' before the solution/attempt as a quick way to know which one you're talking about.

DrKrettin Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 1) K - g1 P - g3 B - e4 (or d5) P - g2 B - somewhere on a diagonal ... P - b6 B - e4 mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Antares Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 No, that doesn't work. The pawn couldn't move to b6 because it's pinned by the bishop. It's an illegal move. You had the right idea tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had the right idea tho. No, the move before that is the bishop to move on the other diagonal, off the diagonal pinning the pawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Antares Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Oh, the other diagonal. But that's a mate in 4. The puzzle requires a mate in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Antares Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Very good, commander. Yes, the first one has already been solved. Also, could you please use standard chess notation for the moves? It's easier to understand. Good job, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
