Post 3541 Hope you had fun with this one. After the first three obvious moves I got stuck. Took me more than an hour (of course I might have been having a bad day) 1.Ne5, c4 2.Ke7, Kc5 3.Ke6+, Kb5 Now what!? 4.Bh6, Kc5 5.Be3+, Kb5 6.Bg5, Kc5 7.Be7+, Kb5 8.Bh4, Kc5 9.Bf2+, Kb5 10.e3 (this is also a passed pawn), Kc5 11.e4+, Kb5 12.Bh4 (at this point the computer started blowing smoke), Kc5 13.Be7+, Kb5 14.Bg5, Kc5 15.Be3+, Kb5 16.Bh6, Kc5 17.Bf8+, Kb5 18.Ke7 , Kc5 19.Kd8+!!, Kb5 20.Nf3, Kc6 21.Nd4 mate. I hope you haven't injured any brain cells.
