TheJamesMadison will be along later with the movie thread. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.




Beginner Problem - White To Play (1044)

Goal: White can force mate in 2 moves
Hint: Even a pawn can checkmate a king


20190928 - Problem 1.jpg
6R1/2r4p/p5pk/1p3pn1/2qN1PP1/P1P5/1P5P/2KR4 w - - 0 1





Intermediate Problem - White To Play (1043)

Goal: White can win a rook
Hint: Tie up Black with a mating threat


20190928 - Problem 2.jpg
R7/1r3Npk/4Bb2/6p1/PP6/2nK4/8/8 w - - 0 1



Advanced Problem - Black To Play (1042)

What's the best line for Black?

Beginner Problem - White To Play


20190928 - Problem 1.jpg
6R1/2r4p/p5pk/1p3pn1/2qN1PP1/P1P5/1P5P/2KR4 w - - 0 1

1.Nxf5+ gxf5
2.fxg5#


Intermediate Problem - White To Play


20190928 - Problem 2.jpg
R7/1r3Npk/4Bb2/6p1/PP6/2nK4/8/8 w - - 0 1

1.Rh8+ Kg6
2.Nd6 g4

Forced. White was threatening Bf5# and Black's king needs a flight square. In which case he doesn't have time to save the rook. So:

3.Nxb7 and White should win.

Instead of 2...g4, 'Off the reservation' found 2...Be5 or 2...Be7 to avoid mate, but Black will still lose the rook.


Advanced Problem - Black To Play


20190928 - Problem 3.jpg
5r1k/p3n1pp/1p6/1PP2p2/P2Pn3/3b1Bb1/1B4P1/R1R4K b - - 0 1

1...Rf6 2.Bxe4

Pretty much forced. Black was threatening 2...Rh6+ 3.Kg1 Bf2#. But he can't avoid mate:

2...Bf2

Black is now threatening mate on h6.

3.Bxf5

If now 3...Rh6+, then 4.Bh3.

3...Nxf5
4.g3 Be4+
5.Kh2 Rh6#

So White has a forced mate in 5.


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.

So that about wraps it up for this week. Chess thread tips, suggestions, bribes, rumors, threats, and insults may be sent to my yahoo address: OregonMuse little-a-in-a-circle yahoo dott com.
