That was a hard one :\

That is a very nice solution. The mating net is not easy to find, so well done

I had to work out why we were sacrificing the queen, props to AO on that move :p

**Just2Good** · 05-24-2009, 10:23 PM

The hint came from MrMip!

Does that mean I was instrumental in solving the problem?

It does, without you I wouldn't have known about the hint until tomorrow when I wake up and check to see if anyone solved it. Then again, you were pretty much the middleman.

**mrmip** · 05-25-2009, 03:21 AM

Since these giegoldians seem to be so easy, let us take one more before trying the more challenging ones

F.Giegold, 1970

White to play and mate in 3 moves.

**Calvin** · 05-25-2009, 02:15 PM

The diagram isn't working for me.

Murky hint: U must sacrifice 'something' to win.

That seems to be the basic theme to this guy's problems.

**Brokenwall** · 05-25-2009, 05:56 PM

Ok, better hint : Checkmate with bishop.

**Lekko** · 05-25-2009, 06:10 PM

Oh wow... I didn't realise black had a move haha...

I was led to believe that there was a sacrifice on the first move >_<

**Brokenwall** · 05-28-2009, 10:51 PM

Why nobody try to solve this nice puzzle?? Where is AO?
Ok another hint : 2nd move is a rook.
