Diddled by Dawson and 2 Million Chess Moves.
10 Oct '23 22:07I found a chess cartoon by Ken Reid a famous cartoonist.
Then three puzzles for you to solve. Not too tough I think.
The first was by composed by Korolikov and Mirtofanov in Moscow 1961.
White to play and win. The solutions are in the blog.
V. Korchnoi - F. Gheorghiu Phillips & Drew Kings London 1980
White played 47. Rc6 and the games was eventually drawn. Can you see a better move.
An easy one. White to play and mate in two moves. There is only one way to do it.
When playing over a game by Firouzja he played an obvious winning move
in the endgame. I found various RHP examples of similar wins getting missed.
