RE: Chess problem 65 / Schachaufgabe 65
Hi @jaki01. Here my solution:
When I saw the position for the first time, I realized that if I could place a queen in the f6 square it would be checkmate. I tried to think about how to eliminate the white bishop from square f3 but I did not see any good moves. Then I realized that if I placed the bishop of c4 in e6 and the pawn in f6, the only square for the white king was the square f4. That's when I realized that if the black queen or the bishop of g1 controlled the diagonal c1-h6, the mate would be unstoppable:
- ... Qe3
- dxe3 Bxe3
- Qb3 Be6
- Qxe6+ fxe6
- Bg4 Nf7#
Btw. your last move should be 5. ... Nf7#.
After 3. Bg4:
3.. ... Be6 (with the same idea)
4.. Bxe6 fxe6
5.. Rf1 c5! White can't stop the mate on c6 with the Knight!
Sorry to test you so thoroughly, haha, but what will you play after:
Finally I have to declare you as winner! :)
I hope you enjoyed solving this quiz!
Thanks my friend :)
