White to play. Mate in Four. The solution with appear after this
picture from an RHP roving reporter who sent me this picture of
the new U.K. Prime Minister moving stuff into 10 Downing Street.

(or it could be a truck taking the previous Prime Minister’s stuff away.)



keithn - David Burris RHP 2023

White to play. Wrap this up. There is a clue from the first two puzzles.

We will go over the last few moves to reveal the solution.

I was messing about with the Blackmar Diemer Gambit and hit upon an idea
which does not appear in any of the databases I have. it was not in any of them.

It involves this variation. 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 exf3 5. Qxf3

So I looked in this 2nd hand acquisition I obtained quite a while ago.

and on page 16 we read.

So here we have a book that does not give you any analysis on 5.Qxf3 despite the fact
the book is titled the Blackmar Diemer Gambit and Emil Diemer was rather fond of
it. We are then pointed towards another book where 5.Qf3 is analysed. This is opening
book con job No. 173 where you end up out of pocket and an armful of chess books.

5 Qxf3 has been seen on RHP 2080 times (White wins 1112, Black wins 863)
