On 1...Bf7 simply brutal 2.Qxf7 decides rightaway... mrmip http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=6229 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:30:19 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6229 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6229 888: figured about the first move but failed on the 2nd and 3rd move... I agree with kcefle, then what is other variations? All I can see 1...Bf7 seems to be a strong defensive move... 888 http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=6229 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:43:34 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6229 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6232 mrmip: Clever, clever. German would say: "Zweimal hinterstellung". Of course Caissa will not play the most challenging defence... mrmip http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=6232 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:28:41 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6232 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=6230 Tomas: Thanks my good friend.

It seems like getting the bishop on the long diagonal should be good enough.

On my first try, I played the first move correctly, but missed the checkmate. Then it hit me. A definite challenge. therippeddeck http://www.chessproblems.com/comment.php?prob=2911 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:48:31 +0100 http://www.chessproblems.com/prob.php?id=2911
