A good puzzle a day can definitely keep your wits sharp on the field of chess! I have a few more up my sleeve that I came across whilst traversing the web, so I will be sure to share them with you to further challenge your chess knowledge!

Another much nicer puzzle with thanks to Dejan Antic

White to play and mate in 4, very hard, it took the ergas people quite a lot of time to work it out!

Any chance of a hint, this does look tough because the pawn check means the king will escape!

**Just2Good** · 08-15-2008, 05:53 PM

For a tough puzzle like this I would like a clue as well. I'm still thinking the pawn moves first though.

Best Regards,

AO

That seems to put a rook on h5.
And what about getting the other on f5.

Yes I think MOZ has it

1.h5+ Rxh5
2.Bf5+ Rxf5
3.Ng7!! with mate next move on f5 or h5

That is brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!!

Great puzzle LMatheson.

Okay, here is a new puzzle for my fans. White to move and mate in four.

No one has even the courage to try and tackle this Grandmaster strength chess puzzle?

1.Rd1+ Ke6

Has to be the first moves because:

1.Bxc6+ would work if the king has to take but it doesn't
1.Bc4+ is just suicide
Anything else and black get perpetual check

But I cannot see where it is heading

2.Bc4+ otherwise white gets perpetualed
2...d5
Now:
3.bxc8=B+ Qxc8
4.exd6+ e.p. Kd7 is no good

3.exd6+ e.p. would work but black plays Kd7 check! If it wasn't check then b8=N would be mate

I can't see it

Yeah there is a mistake, I put it into fritz and it had mate in 7 after:

1.Rd1+ Ke6
2.bxc8=Q Rh1+
3.Bf1 Qe7
4.Qd8 Rxf1+
5.Kxf1 Qxd8
6.Rd6#

Maybe you should move the king to f1 instead of e1

The puzzle is 100% correct. Could perhaps Mr Fritz be forgetting that en passant is possible?

Grandmaster Alex will give you a hint if you want it, but if you look you cannot be my padawan anymore

Ah, yes, but what did you tell FRITZ?
