Broken Mate in 3 #3 - OzChess

**Brokenwall** · 02-13-2009, 08:50 PM

Hmmmm, still remember that title?

As usual, many White's giant pieces vs single Blacks's poor defender. White to move and mate in 3. But it is easier one. Hope you will solve in 5 mins, not in hours.

Black : Ka1, Ba2
White : Kg4, Qd8, Qe8 .... etc

1. Rb1+ Bxb1
2. Ra8+ Ba2
3. Rxa2 checkmate

**Brokenwall** · 02-14-2009, 05:35 PM

Hmm...
Sorry, a little mistakes on board, it should be White : Kg4, Bd8, Qe8 ... etc

2.Ra8+ Kb2! more complicated here.

Perhaps a hint?

How can the King go to b2 if there is a rook on b4?

**Brokenwall** · 02-16-2009, 04:00 PM

Please see Calvin's post.
1.Rb1+ Bxb1
2.Ra8+ Kb2
..
There is no rook at column b.

1. Qh4 Bb1 ( also Bd5 and Bxe6)
2. Ra8+ Ba2
3. Rxa2

Or

1. Qh4 Bb3
2. Qe1+ Bd1
3. Qxd1

Great job Simon

this must surely be the answer

**Brokenwall** · 02-17-2009, 08:03 PM

Well, similar to Calvin's, please notice at this variant.

1.Qh4 Bb3
2.Qe1+ Kb2!
(Black should not play Bd1)
3.???

What about this Brokenwall:

1. Qh4 Bb3
2. Qf2!

Now the bishop can go anywhere, and White has a forced mate either on a2 or b2, and the King cannot go to b2 anymore :Guess What:

**Brokenwall** · 02-18-2009, 04:41 PM

Yeaah..

1.Qh4 Bb3
2.Qf2 Bc2!
3.??
If White try to check through 1st row, then 3...Bb1. and if check through column A then 3...Ba4. No mate here.

I think it is a easier puzzle than Broken #2

I missed that!

Okay, how about a clue?

**Thomas Bishop** · 02-18-2009, 07:56 PM

Qb5 is the correct move, with Qf1 following.

**Brokenwall** · 02-18-2009, 09:00 PM

Mmmm...

1.Qb5 Bb3
2.Qf1+ Kb2
variants:
3.Qb1+ Ka3 or
3.Rxb3+ Kc2

Where is the mate?

I put this game up (below) using the pgn viewer so that people can move the pieces to help solve this mystery!
