2nd place, friendly match Sweden-Switzerland
Springaren 68 (Mar. 1997)
a) Black to move helps white mate in 3 (h#3)
b) without white Nc3
Solution, part a
1. bxc3 f4 2. Nf2 axb3 3. Ne4 Nc2#
Hint, part b
- Without the Nc3, what
must
have been
- white's latest move?
Solution, part b
- White's latest move
must
have been
- pc2-c4. Every other move would have
- implied either that black had been
- in check or that white would have
- been in an impossible chack. Hence:
1. bxc3 ep! Kxg4 2. Bd5 Kf5 3. Rc4 Nb3#
