Puzzle solution:
Bb7 and black is in Zugzwang
- If Bxb7 then Qh7#
- If Rxb7 then Qh1#
- If Ra1 then Qh7#
- If any other rook move then Qh1# or Qh7#
- If d3 then Qh1#
- If Kh5 then Qh7#
- If Kh3 then Qh1#
B*a8
If R*a8
Qh1#
If Ra3
Q h7#
@@geemonmc9489if Bxa8 then kh5 and it's not mate in 2. Bb7 is the correct answer
White would still win of course (though it is a longer checkmate), but Bb7 is the only move that forces mate in two
Bb7. Then Qh1# or Qh7# mates.
This is an example of a Novotny, where one piece (the White bishop) blocks two Black pieces in different ways.
@@johnh5259 Right!
1. Bb7 d3 2. Qh1#
maybe it's time again for something a little more complicated than a mate in two
Strong 👍🏾😏‼️
Radjabov is quite well prepared in many openings but not this one.
THERE ARE SOME OPENINGS THAT ARE RARELY PLAYED BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM . . .
B*a8
If R*a8
Q h1# or
Qh7#
But what if Black DOESN'T play R:a8 ? For instance, Rf7+ and White cannot mate in 2. White might still win, but the puzzle is to mate in 2.
