                Post 768 Much humour here. There are ten candidate key moves. I'll try a list. 1.Rd1, Re1, Rf1, Rg1, Rh1, Bd5, Bf3, Bg2, Bh1 and Kc5 Ive never seen that many candidates for key move.

                              • Post 806 Key move 1.Qd4 Sometimes its obvious. Connect all the dots. The queen connects the rooks, the queening square of the pawn, targets a checkmating rank and two key checkmating target squares, as well as pinning the key defending knight in one critical line. I.Qd4, Ka4 2.Rxa2 mate. A beautiful problem and critical learning.
