RE: Chess problem 47 / Schachaufgabe 47
- Kf8 Ne8 2.f6 and black is in zugzwang, black cannot move his knight because it is the only piece that defend the checkmate. If black plays:
2... a6 3. bxa6 bxa6 4. c6
2... b6 3. cxb6 (or axb6) cxb6 (axb6) 4. a6 (or c6) and White is going to crown a queen
Other variant could be: - Kf8 Nxf5 2.Qf6 and black has the same problems that in the first variant.
I like this kind of position, they teach you so much
Looks great. I think in the second variation you mean 1. Kf8 Nxf5 2. Qf6, right?
This time we have a quiet solution which you found and a more spectacular attack which @greatwolf found, but still didn't show me the final position. :)
Edit: as @greatwolf pointed out, after 1. Kf8 f6 black wins (check my reply to his last comment here).
Nevertheless you did very well, too: your idea tricked me so that I suddenly thought my problem had a second solution. Sorry for the confusion caused, next time I should be more thoroughly again!
I have to ask, what happens if black just plays f6 instead after Kf8?
@greatwolf, you saved my chess problem!
Actually when I composed it I only had one solution in mind, the one which you found! And yes, I thought I had checked it well enough. However, when @juanmi96 posted his idea, I suddenly thought "Damn, there is a second solution, but I have to accept that, and it looks nice, too!"
(I didn't check it thoroughly enough to verify it before I declared his solution as 'correct', too, neither by 'biobrain' nor by chess software - sorry for the confusion caused. :-) )
But you are completely right: After 1.Kf8 f6 black wins, and to be honest, I am happy that my little chess problem has one solution only ...
Yes, you are right Nxf5, sorry.
4. ... Qxg5 5. fxg5 Ng3 6. Qg7++
4. ... Qh6 5. gxh6 Kxh6 6. Qxh8+ Bh7 7. Qf6 Bg8 8. Kxg8 Ne7+ 9. Kf8 Nf6 10. Qh8++
Your notation doesn't make any sense after move 4. do you mean hxg, h3? Also what is axf6??
