Chess Anyone?

 

1. It’s about this time when you start asking questions like that, that I “accidentally” have a stress attack, kaniption fit, whatever, that spills the beer all over the board and knocks all the pieces on the floor. Sorry brother, no chess player here.

2. Well… I play, but I’m not very good.  And I have no idea who was playing or what happened next.

   Personally, I would probably do F-8 to F-5.  I suspect that sounds insane, but it at least has the benefit of threatening his queen.

4. 1. Send the horsey to F3.
   2. Humphrey Bogart and Judy Garland, back in 1956.
   3. Bogie and Judy both took another swig of gin and passed out.

5. Comrades,

   Knight to F3 only loses the knight to a pawn. I’d consider black pawn H7 to H6. White would probably move his queen G5 to G4. After that, Black uses his queen to take the rook on C5.... I’d think further, but I need sleep…

   Respects,

11. Man… I saw the way to put the king in check but I never thought of that as the SECOND move.  I thought of that as a first move (that I rejected) just to annoy the opponent.

    Interesting.

12. 1. ...Q-KKt6! The mate threat at KR7 is compelling.

    2. QxQ, Kt-K7+,
    3. K-R1, KtxQ+, (if BPxKt, RxR is mate),
    4. K-Kt1, Kt-K7+ and the threatened rook escapes.

    2. BPxQ, Kt-K7+,
    3. K-R1, RxR mate.

    2. RPxQ, Kt-K7 mate.

    Any other move by White loses to QxQ or QxRP mate.

    (I think this was Lewitzky-Marshall, but I’m not sure.)

13. There’s nothing like a chess puzzle first thing in the AM.

    1...Qg3 (threatens mate on h2) 2. Qxg3 Ne2+ (forking K & Q) 3. Kh1 Nxg3+ 4. Kg1 Nxf1
    (if 4. fxg3 Rxf1#)

    I think I’ve seen this position somewhere in one of my puzzle books.

14. 1.....Q-g3
    2Q-e5..then what?

16. To answer commandero Black doesn’t escape, he mates.

    1… Qg3
    2. Qe5 Nf3+
    3. Kh1 Rxh2 mate.
