I think Chess is one of the most creative games to play,in chess fantasy is all.
btw I couldn't get Mephisto's other puzzle either, but something bugs me about it... like it's not an incredibly difficult solution... know what I mean?
Originally posted by Ravelloyeah, I think so...
are you refering to the puzzle that neither Tal nor me were able to solve?😉
something about the positioning of the white knights that looks familiar... like there's a trap to be made there somehow... i may be completely wrong though...
Originally posted by RavelloLet me give you the line that Tal played, which is leading to draw only:
it's since your last post I'm trying.......also yesterday night......
1.h4 Qc8 2.Nf6+ Kg6 3.Nxg8 Qxd7 4.Ne5+Kh7 5.Nd7 Kxg8 and the game was drawn.
That gives you an idea of what was NOT the solution.
ps. don't give me credit for what I found in my files ...

By the way,I've found many other ways how NOT to play it 😀
Originally posted by SirLoseALotMy mistake, I am so terribly sorry. The knight is on h5 - NOT h4. My apologies for any time you did spend so far on this.
