Two chess cartoons, A Sam Loyd Problem.


White to play and mate in four moves. Onto RHP
games using the same pieces (Rooks and Knights)
and by chance I found a rather unique 0-0 Stalemate.

Then a GM game with the GM getting mated on f2 in 8 moves.
Which had me looking for which RHP player have delivered this
mate (Qxf2 mate under 8 moves) and found a player with 13 mates!

Which took me onto another GM blunder D. Gurevich - G. Kamsky, USA 1989
This shows you how easy it is to slip up. If the good guys can do it, so can anyone.

11.Ng5 was played. Find the move that saw White resigning,

Hi Geoff,
The initial diagram given for the Sam Loyd problem in both this thread and the blog post differs greatly from that given in the chess movie.

Hi David,

Ha, I was trying to remember the exact position which I saw years ago in
a CHESS monthly and have three diagrams all similar. I used the wrong one.
Corrected. Sam Loyd would have been spinning as my one has a duel solution.


White to play, mate in 4 - only solution. (thanks again - Geoff)
