my first chesspuzzle

Jusuh: I'm calling you out! I'm convinced that there is no way for white to draw in your puzzle, so I've challenged you to a set piece game. Let us see if your study is really sound.

fine! lets play

It's your move.

Well, that is a great idea Jusuh 🙂 it is draw indeed 😉 perhaps you can add some more play, thus making it a really beautiful study. I'll give it a look and maybe, I'll PM you some ideas.

Ah, I see it now. I was fixated on keeping bQ and thus missed Nd2! I have deleted the game.

I figured I'd either find a win for black or get to see the solution, so it was a win-win proposition.

right...if somebody still doesnt know solution, ask!

OK, Jusuh.
I give up.
What's the answer? 😕

Well, it is a positional draw: 1.a8Q+! Qxa8 2.Nb1! Qd8 3.Kxe2 and 4.Nd2 = building a fortress.

IC. Thanx.

lol There is no spoon 🙂
