Puzzles...

These are intended for the juniors, but obviously anyone can have a shot. No computers!

White has just played 4 h3. Find Black's best move.

Black has just retreated his Knight to e8. White to play and win. What is White's best move?

Answers will be in the comments when I remember...

  1. The answers:-

    1 - Black plays Ne3. White can't play fxe3; 5 fxe3 Qh4+ 6 g3 (forced) Qxg3#. White has to lose the Queen.

    2 - from here, 1 Bxf7+ fxe7 2 Ne6. The Black Queen has no safe squares, and after 2 ... dxe6 3 Qxd8.
