Hi Heinz,

Don't know who composed it, It was shown to me years ago.

This one is meant to be Kasparov's favourite study.
(to my shame I do not know who composed this one either.)

It's beautiful, a work of art.

White to play and win.

Just press play and enjoy, it's all forced

How are the last few moves forced? The black queen could get white in check (when the white horse threatens it), then the horse would take the queen...
I have no idea how to do the "ne4" things!
Hope I'm not wrong!!

Hmmm. Well the win is forced, just not the moves. I'm an idiot.



Edit: Or is it?
Is there a forced win from the check?

The queen cannot check without being lost.That would prevent the mate,I guess,but it hardly saves the game.

A good site that - I entered a mate in two from memory
and it told me within seconds who composed the problem.

KOVACS Florian Janos

White to play and mate in 2 moves.
(yes all those Black pawns are on their 7th rank and about to promote).

In a Chess study 'White to play and win' means you have to find the
best moves for Black that do not lose on the spot.

Going a Queen down is a White win so Black is forced to play the
best that keep the material even.

In a Chess Prolem it will stipulate how many moves the mate
must be given in. The one above is mate in two - no more than two moves.

Studies can be very beneficial to your game.
Probelms tend to have very ungame like positions.

Here is a problem. White to play and mate in 6 moves.

Don't be put of by the length - set it up and play it out over a board.
Everyone on this site will be able to solve this one.

Actually it quite hard NOT to mate in 6 moves.

It was composed by RÕpke Skakbladet in 1942 (cheers Heinz)
