Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 10-02-2021

seventh seal reboot 03.jpg
Anyone Up For A Gender-Swapped Seventh Seal Reboot?


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.



Pic Note:

The photo, of course, is an homage to the chess game between Death and the main character of Ingmar Bergman's classic The Seventh Seal. I stole it from this fashion site, at which there are more 'art' photos on this theme (I particularly like this one).



Beginner Problem - Black To Play (1435)

Goal: Black can force mate in 2 moves
Hint: Knight moves only!


20211002 Problem 1.jpg
7r/ppNkn1pp/2n1p3/8/1b3B2/8/PPb1KPPP/R4B1R b - - 0 1






20211002 chess pic 01.jpg



Intermediate Problem - White To Play (1434)

Goal: White to force mate in 4 moves
Hint: Use the knight to gum things up on the back rank


20211002 Problem 2.jpg
2r1r2k/1b5p/p2QNq2/3p1P2/3Pp3/8/6RP/6RK w - - 0 1



Advanced Problem - White To Play (324)

This problem has two unique solutions, two completely different lines from the very first move, one shorter and one longer. See if you can find both mates. Or, perhaps you can find a third.

Problem Solutions

Beginner Problem - Black To Play


20211002 Problem 1.jpg
7r/ppNkn1pp/2n1p3/8/1b3B2/8/PPb1KPPP/R4B1R b - - 0 1

1... Nd4+
2. Ke3 Nef5#


Intermediate Problem - White To Play


20211002 Problem 2.jpg
2r1r2k/1b5p/p2QNq2/3p1P2/3Pp3/8/6RP/6RK w - - 0 1

1.Nf8! Qg6
2.Rxg6 hxg6
3.Qf6+ Kg8
4.Rxg6#

Instead of 1...Qg6, Black could play 1... Rxf8, but he will still lose:

2.Rg8+ Rxg8
3.Qxf6+ Rg7
4.Qxg7#


Advanced Problem - White To Play


20211002 Problem 3.jpg
r2q3r/pp3R1p/3p1Qpk/8/3N4/8/P5P1/6K1 w - - 0 1

1.Nf5+ Kh5
2.Ng3+ Kh6 (2...Kg4 3. Qf4#)
3.Qg7+ Kg5

Not 3.Qh4+?? Qxh4

4.Rf5+ Kg4
5.Qd4+ Kxg3
6.Rf3#

The other line goes like this:

1.Qf4+ Qg5
2.Nf5+ gxf5
3.Rf6+ Kh5
4.Qf3+ Qg4
5.Rxf5+ Kh4

Or if 5...Kg6 then 6.Qxg4+ Kh6 7.Rh5# Also 5...Kh6 results in 6.Qxg4 Rag8 7.Rh5#

6.Qf2+ Qg3
7.Rf4+ Kh5
8.Qxg3 Kh6
9.Rh4#

Hope to see you 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.
