Post 676 Key move 1.Nh1 The logic thinking is - what Black pieces can move? The H-pawn, the knight, and the G-pawn. If the knight moves then 2.Nf2 mate. if the H- pawn moves 2.Ng5 mate. if the G pawn captures knight and promotes to Q,R, or B then 2.Qg3 mate. if the G pawn promotes to knight then 2.Qf1 mate.

Post 673 Key move 1.Rb6!, cxb6 2.c3, b5 3.Kc5, b4 4.cxb4 mate
Post 674 Key move 1.c4!, bxc3 en passant 2.Qc4 mate or 1...Kxb3 2.Qc2 mate.
Post 675 Key move 1.Qc6! The thinking is White must have answers to Black's three different piece moves. The king can move to a6. The b - pawn can move to b4. The d-pawn can move to d6 or d5. Only Qc6 covers all three by mate on a8 or mate on a4 or finally if dxc6 (losing the queen) then Ra6 is mate. That is why you should follow the logical thinking otherwise the loss of queen will stop you from considering the move.
Full solution: 1.Qc6, b4 2.Qa4 mate. or 1...Ka6 2.Qa8 mate or 1...dxc6 2.Ra6 mate.Last edited by Hans Jung; Sunday, 1st September, 2024, 11:50 AM.Leave a comment:
