Yochanan AfekEvery Saturday (this time with some delay, apologies for this) an endgame study is published at Chessvibes, selected by Yochanan Afek: player, trainer, endgame study composer and writer. A week later the solution is published.

    1.Bf5 Kd6/d8 2. Rd4+ Ke5 3.Re4+ Kf5 4.Re3 1-0

    Ravi, Try harder, you are not there yet!

  3. fogged on 26 March 2007 19:37 PM

    Yes Ravi Yochanan is correct, you are headed towards a stalemate.

  4. tobi on 27 March 2007 8:44 AM

    1.Bc6+ Kd6 2.Rd4+ Ke5 3.Re4+ and Rxe3 and Rxe2 1-0
    after 1. … Kc8 2. Rf8#

  5. Yochanan Afek on 27 March 2007 9:19 AM

    Tobi, still not good enough. harder!Think stalemate!

  6. hizad on 27 March 2007 20:06 PM

    nr 11:
    1. Kf3 Le2+ 2. Kg3 Ke1 [and not 2... Ld4]
    3. Kg2 Lf1+ 4. Kf3 Le2+ 5. Kg2 etc. draw
    A dual to the solution?

  7. fogged on 27 March 2007 21:38 PM

    1.Bc6+ Kd6 2.Rd4+ Ke6 3.Re4+ Kd6 4.Rxe3 e1Q 5.Rxe1
    Stalemate, this is NOT the solution.

  8. petr zvardon on 28 March 2007 4:13 AM

    1. Bf5+ Kd8 (or Kd6) 2. Rd4+ Ke7 3. Re4+ Kd8 4. Bd7! e1=Q 5. Bb5
    and white should win as black can do anything against 6. Re8 mat

  9. tobi on 28 March 2007 6:00 AM

    It´s right. It is only draw, if 1.Bc6+. It isn´t solution.

  10. Dimitar Panayotov on 28 March 2007 7:13 AM

    So the stalemate is
    1.Bf5+ Ke8
    2.Re4+ Kd8
    3.Rxe3 stalemate

    so probably White has to play
    2.Bd7+ Kxd7
    3.Rd4+ Kex
    4.Re4+ and take the pawns

  11. Dimitar Panayotov on 28 March 2007 7:32 AM

    and if Black plays
    2… Ke7
    3.Re4+ Kd8
    4.Bd7 e1Q
    5.Bb5 with mate on e8

Got something to say?
