Hi @Jaki01, i like the riddles you are posting a lot :D so iam in trying to solve this (only because you said it is going to be easy).
Ok how about e2 to d4, then black moves e5 to d4, white tower then moves to threaten the king d5 to h5. Enemy horse needs to do something about that and charges in on the tower so g7 to h5. Then white horse takes the final blow with moving from g3 to f5. This is leaving the king under pressure with no movement options left.
done
iam sure there is a better way to do that without losing that horse at the start .. but i just cant get my head around it.
thanks alot for the problem, as you know i love to work this things out :D
Hi, @jedigeiss, hereby I declare you as winner, as you are the first one who found the correct solution! (I am answering somewhat late as even a chess player needs to eat from time to time. :-) )
really? this is the best solution there is ? well you said that it was a bit easier than the last one. i really only had problems to find the first move from white, after that all fell into place :D
Wohooo !
What happens if e5 doesn't take d4? He doesn't have to, right?
For example, after the first white move, I would more likely go rook d8 takes d5
How do you force checkmate then?
Cheers
Then Nf3# is checkmate.
Ah - sehr gut!
