broze Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/UeAfjqh.png this problem is amazing after Rh1 it's white to move. I'll admit I saw this on Youtube today, which I guess is where you saw it. The guy showed the solution quicker than I could think but his reaction at seeing the solution made me laugh a lot! Great problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Does anybody have the solution to #26? I was thinking of Bg1, but I am not sure. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Does anybody have the solution to #26? I was thinking of Bg1, but I am not sure. Rik This was a tactics problem so it's sort of lol as a solution, but the line is1. f7 Rf1 2. gxh7 Rh2 3. Bf2 Rfxf24. Rg2 You can then fork them if they take the other pawn after you queen obv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamford Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 this is cute. white to move http://i.imgur.com/Z00cgL7.pngNice study. I presume 1 a5 h2 2 a6 is losing and White needs to build a cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 thanks, but back to the point, I always though there was some luck involved in chess, and precisely that kind of one, having the luck to think about the best move on the first seconds of thought, or perhaps the opposite, failing to see that a very strong move happens to have an even stronger countermove.

dicklont Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm amazed I could see it at first attemp, I guess I Was just luckyThis looks like the ladder in go. Except that you don´t want to play the ladder unless there is a helping stone somewhere along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 hint: it is correct that white cannot win this game I was aware of that. To get stalemate White has to prevent his bishop and king having a move pretty quickly. I am aware of the solution, but am trying not to give it away for others.
