Excellent work Chessleader!

However, Rc8 isn't mate right away

, Black still has the futile Queen d8 before mate occurs

wow , id probly over rated at 900 in the real world , so taking this 3rd puzzler on has made me think, im not sure at all but here it goes
w b
e6,h6 h7,h6
g5,h6 h8,g8
h6,g6 g8,h8
f5,f6 d5,f6 or what ever, i think if you do the next white move too -
h6,g6 g8,h8 - this, white will win.
f1,f6 f8,f6
g6,h7 cm

tuff one

Okay, Answer time:

Puzzle #3 The winning move is Rh6!

If Black plays Rf7 f6 with Rf5 to follow after the Bishop Rook exchange.

Or if Black plays Rxh6 Qxh6+ with Qg6+ and f6 to follow. Black has no answer to defend this threat.

AO

**Euro-Chess** · 10-06-2007, 05:38 PM

Rh6 looks good, but I can't see how it is totally winning after Rf7 in reply.

**Just2Good** · 11-02-2007, 08:22 PM

A New Chess Puzzle for the Distinguished Gentleman. All Non-Gentlemen and people who are not Distinguished, please go to another thread - this one is not for you.

White to Mate in 2 (not more than 2, just two)

I know this is a hard puzzle people, but there really is a mate in 2. Even some versions of Fritz cannot find it though!

**vagrantnomad** · 11-05-2007, 04:57 PM

iv got one answer but it is flawed.

r e1 , k x r , qd2 cm. white walks off thinking "what a sucker!"

11-05-2007, 05:23 PM

and if black plays bg2 then qh4 mate while if b goes anywhere else qg1 mate so your answer is not flawed at all!
