Alas I'm in work so don't have access to a properly secured browser. Thus I can't check on how suspect this link is (or isn't).
But any link posted by a non-subscriber with zero moves, zero games should be treated with causion.
Be careful out there in www-land.
Edit: seems Phlab has tried it already, so probably OK

Where you find that? It was rather simple, considering 'I' solved it!

😉 (I consider that a good one!)

What is this about the password? I saw nothing to enter one in.

You'll find more chess puzzles both in Chess forum, as well as posers and puzzles.

Seems safe... I got no pupups... no warnings, no nothing.

(that's the sad thing about being a mod, I feel I need to go check most links)

As for Password, I wouldn't do that... That could be the trap!

This is Reti's Mate, named after Richard Reti due to the fact that he played this in the game Reti-Tartakower in Vienna in 1910. It was the result of a Caro-Kann defense. I'm sure someone can look it up and get a pgn for people to play through, or better yet, it's probably in any good online database.

regards,

Brian

The position is named after him... a lot of things are like that in chess.

You could probably use Yahoo.com or Google.com and search for "Reti's Mate" and find something!

ES

This position is similar, but a hair dif than the one you posted. Same logic though!

Come on Plab..no rec for knowing that one? The name of the mate was easy, but knowing the game without having to look it up?:'(
