phonybenoni 07-Sep-12, 09:22 » Report abuse	In composed (constructed) positions, this is known as the Indian theme. White voluntarily blocks the action of one of his pieces to allow a stalemated king to move, then delivers mate by discovered check. Any time Black has a stalemate defense, start using your bishops and rooks to block each other and see what happens. Often, you will solve a problem that baffles 90% of solvers. Of course, it's not that easy. White could also try for an Indian here with 1.Bb8 and 2.Rc7, for example. Careful analysis is still needed, but at least you'll be on the right path.
