For lovers of chessproblems:

Black always makes a move symmetric to whites move.
(if 1. d4 then 1. ... d5, if 2. Sc3 then 2. ... Sc6, if 3. Lf4 then 3. ... Lf5 and so on)
How many moves does white need to mate black?



There are 4 solutions in 4 moves

This Problem is very famous, so most of you probably know it:

In a insense endgame the white King falls of the board.
As white wants to place the King on the board again, he dont remember where it was.
The other pieces on the board are:
White: Ba4
Black: Kd1, Rb5, Bd5

on which square was the King?
Only one solution.
(Im on vacation, but i will give you the solution in a week)

Bd5+ I guess. I mean, whites king HAS to be on b3 to block the white bishop checking blacks king. Otherwise the position is either illegal (both kings in check) or it's blacks move so he can move the king away (but then there would be more than one solution, which is not right). So Kb3 is the only possible positition as far as my feeble chess-mind is considered. So blacks last move must have been Bd5 check, somewhere from the a8-h1 diagonal.

You do realise that this would be possible only if black Rook was on b8. Then possible move is Bb7-d5++ - all ok. BUT the Rook is on b5. So no possible move Bd5 as you suggest. It's not possible after white's moves their King still to be in check (Rb5).
But with black Rook on b5 your solution don't work.

One Page Memory got it!

A) White last move must a have been a check.
White last move cant have been a bischofmove, because then Black would already have been in check during whites move.
White last moves must have been a kingmove from b3 to ??

B) White on b3 would then have been in 2xcheck, this 2xcheck can only occure, if blacks last move was pawn b4 takes white pawn c3 (going from c2 to c4) en passant. (If it was a Bischof- or Rookmove, white would have been check during Blacks move)

From the Position:

White: Kb3, Ba4, c2
Black: Kd1, Rb5, Bd5, b4

you reach the Puzzleposition by:
1. c2-c4 b4-c3ep+ 2. Kb3-c3+

According Blackjack, there are a select few from tl.net who are \"very good\" chess players. I\'m here for such that of a selection.

I played BW fanatically for seven years (I\'m sure most of you remember me), and quit playing last year. Chess is where I\'ve been ever since (likewise during the BW era, but not quite as assiduously and intensely). If there is anyone intellectually capable of putting up a decent fight for the unfortunate futility bound by the fate of opposition, I\'m a 1900+ Yahoo. (The \"Yahoo\" is my noun.) I play every day. It\'d be wonderful to find some good chess competition from BW players; so far no good.

NeoTheAKA is a complete jackass, he aim'd me to play and I told him to fuckoff. Shortly thereafter I got a different aim from someone asking me to play but they wouldn't tell me their tl.net handle. It was obviously Neo smurfing.

ChoboCup, you're an idiot. I don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. "Shortly thereafter I got a different aim from someone asking me to play but they wouldn't tell me their tl.net handle. It was obviously Neo smurfing." Are you kidding me?

I've been playing a lot of BW lately, but I'm still here. l3randt is still my AIM and brandte222@hotmail.com is still my MSN. No clue how you idiots come up with this stuff, but I don't "smurf," "dodge," or "hack" in chess. l3randt is my main account on Yahoo and I'll gladly play any of you and take the wins.
