Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:

This 1896-99 @metmuseum dress was purchased from a department store where the Fox sisters designed this dress. At the time, they were very exclusive. This garment is produced from both a shiny satin textile in contrast to a woollen material. pic.twitter.com/KyU9ErYbU1

Solutions Update

Easier Problem - White To Play

1k1r3r/ppN3pq/8/4Bp2/8/6P1/1P3PB1/2R3K1 w - - 0 1

1.Nd5+!

This is the key move. The placement of the knight is crucial:

1.Nb5+ Ka8 2.Ra1 a6 3.Nc7+ Ka7 and the mate escapes

1.Na6+ Ka8 and then what? Not much.

1...Rd6

If 1...Ka8 then 2.Nb6+ axb6 3.Ra1#, a move earlier than the main line.

2.Bxd6+ Ka8
3.Nb6+ axb6
4.Ra1#

More Challenging Problem - Black To Play

6r1/p1qp1k1p/1p5r/P1p2p2/2P1b1pP/1PQ1P3/1B3P1P/R3R1K1 b - - 0 1

1... Qxh2+
2. Kxh2 (2.Kf1 Bf3 3.Qg7+ Rxg7 4.Bxg7 Qh1#)
2...Rxh4+
3.Kg3 (3.Kg1 Rh1#)
3...Rh3+
4.Kf4 Rf3+
5.Ke5 Rg6
6.Red1 Re6#

Hope to see you all next week!

Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and paste it into your chess app.
