![]() (1) White needs to get both N and B out of the way. (2) The N must move first, in case Black decides to move 1... Kg8, allowing 2. Be6++ (checking through f7 and preventing escape from the back rank). (3) After the White N move, if Black does NOT move his king (because of 2. Be6++), he must promote a pawn, after which a White B move is discovered check. Therefore Black's promotion must be to a Q or R (which is also the only way to check the White king, if it is the h-pawn that promotes), since a B could not escape from the promotion square (being blocked in) and a N not move far enough. (4) For this discovered check to be mate, Black must be prevented from interposing his newly promoted Q or R on the back rank, or capturing White's R - even if it promotes with check as the h-pawn would. The B, of course, can move (when discovering check) to intercept on any file - including intercepting a Black check on the h-file - with one exception: it cannot move and block the c-file, so the block on that file must be made on White's first move by his N, therefore 1. Nc6! is the key. |

Hated it, even tho it was clever4 Stars difficulty 2 Stars Aesthetics. This is one of those useless bits that is more about the cleverness of the creator of the puzzle than those solving the puzzle. I'd much rather solve realistic puzzles than artifices such as this. Oh, and yeah, I failed to solve it in my first try. |
