CHESS PUZZLE


Black stands for black's pieces, the other colour is for white. P stands for pawn. All other notations are standard. Its black's turn to play. Tell me how black can win in 3 moves. This puzzle is pretty nice, in that it involves 2 good tricks, one being seemingly suicidal (but actually helpful in this case). Try it out.

@ abhirup
Yes that's the required move, coz only that puts white under a double check, and the white king must move to c8 or e8(coz u can't capture or block 2 pieces at once), followed by mate by black's rook: Rd8++

sorry philip but mujhe teri "left ki taraf" aisi bhasha nahi samjhi. I'm assuming that by "left" u mean Ba5+. My apologies for that misunderstanding.

move the queen rite up next to the wite king and that will do him in eventually.........

yes i got it and note abhirup that wite cant give a hair about anything after that

you want full soln or that suffices ......
rest of it is a piece of cake.

good question sad that it took almost 30 posts to get an answer

Vicky Chijwani ·

Amazing abhirup!! Why didn't u post that solution then?? That queen sacrifice followed by the double check makes this question truly beautiful.

Vicky Chijwani ·

hey philip stop pullin my leg man :)

Philip Calvert ·

no seriously abhirup and u are genius

1
Vicky Chijwani ·

ya ya right i accept that haha.... ur post#41 sounds so ironical to me, especially the part with Vishy. That puzzle was not made by me, and nor was its solution, let me tell you.

1
Philip Calvert ·

that post was meant to be ironical

the way you asked me the fullest of solution even when after the first move it must have been obvious.......

but notwithstanding irony(or the rest of it) i really meant that you both are genius (not necessarily here but just looking at all your prev. posts tells me this . seriously.)

@srinath
Nice work!! srinath's solution is the one i was expectin.

@shreyan
shreyan, what if white plays Nd7 in his first move (going for defense instead of offense), then black's queen would not be able to mate so easily... as u can see in srinath's solution, white is "powerless to stop the slaughter" by black (quoting from the book where i saw this puzzle). If u're still not convinced that srinath's solution is the only one, you play as black and i'll play as white, n then let's see if u can mate in 3 moves using some other technique. Good work even then, but ur solutionl work only if white plays as u want him to, which is not necessary at all.
