Kate Moss?


TheJamesMadison should 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 - Black To Play (1274)

Goal: Black can force mate in 3, also in 2
Hint: Drive the Black king over to the side, then mate

See if you can find more than one mating line.

Beginner Problem - Black To Play


20210102 - Problem 1.jpg
8/2p2ppk/4p2p/3p4/2nPb2P/2P1P1P1/7r/R1K1Q3 b - - 0 1

1...Rc2+
2.Kb1

or if 2.Kd1 then 2...Nb2#

2...Rxc3+
3.Ka2 Ra3#


Intermediate Problem - White To Play


20210102 - Problem 2.jpg
2r1nrk1/p4p1p/1p2p1pQ/nPqbRN2/8/P2B4/1BP2PPP/3R2K1 w - - 0 1

1.Ne7+ Qxe7

If 1...Kh8? then 2.Qxf8#

2.Qxh7+ Kxh7
3.Rh5+ Kg8
4.Rh8#


Advanced Problem - White To Play


20210102 - Problem 3.jpg
8/5kB1/7P/8/8/1p6/2pK4/8 w - - 0 1

1.Bd4!

The bishop has to do double duty: protect the advanced pawn as well as help the White king scoop up the advanced Black pawns.

1... Kg6
2.Be3 Kf7

And now White can snarf the pawns.

3.Kc3 Kg6
4.Kxb3 Kh7
5.Kxc2 and wins

Bit of serendipity here: this only works because the bishop can cover the queening square, otherwise, the game would be a draw. Black would just park his king on h8 and there would be no way it could be dislodged.

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.
