Let White move first?

My Puzzle:

White's Move

Edited 5/3/2014 13:08:05

@pooh. Qf8 with perpetual checks or stalemate?

Edited 5/3/2014 17:36:26

You seem to be having difficulties to understand the concept.

When i write best move for black wanted, I obviously mean black is to move.

Again then:



Find the best move for black. And yes, black is to move first.
And no, there is not a piece too many.

@pooh: Qc2.

Push the clock button to make white's timecount start?

The main variation will be that white moves a chess piece on the board and pushes his own clock button. After that, black is to reciprocate. Failing to push the clock button will result in a loss by time.

If white doesn't push the clock button after his move, black should just sit at the table, seem like he's thinking hard, and do nothing until white's time runs out.

@myhand, sorry. isn't Qc2 met b Rxh2 and loss of queen?


btw, we still can't see your puzzle.

Edited 5/3/2014 14:52:51

what do you mean by you cant see the puzzle???

and yes, i was a bit hasty. Qf8+ it is.

This is what Pooh means:



Edit: and apparently what most people see.

@Myhand e5

Edited 5/4/2014 08:35:12

For me it looks like the game didn't even started. Because it's internetchess, several pretty things (closing door until forfeit, turning around chessboard) don't seem to work for Black for to win over White or at least to get few advantages, if there's a White, which probably don't know it is White :-)

First move: Black has to find someone playing as White. ??

What if the game had played out with only knights so far, and white managed to lose a tempo somewhere, then they all went back to their home squares and its blacks turn? That is the only thing that could have happened. So the best move would be e5.

Could someone please repost myhand's puzzle? It is not visible for most, please repost it using the diagram generator I linked on the first page.

@myhand: Is this blind chess?

@szeweningen

It looks like a german FEN 5TK1/BB4BB/4B3/2t3d1/3S4/2D4T/b1b2bbb/5tk1 so i guess it should be this.
Black to move, and I suppose that blacks pawns move to the top. (instead of the bottom as indicated by the FEN)



Problem was:best move for black

Edited 5/4/2014 12:14:16

shrug, take the queen.

and don't take the rook^^

... Rxf6
Rxf6 Qd4 (white lost knight, probably can get few pawns)
some variants:

Rf5? e6

Te1 Te8
Ne5xf7 ? (Te8xe1+) or Ne5-d7+ Qxd7 (and f7 saved)

Txf7 Qxe5
Txh7 Qf5 (Qxh2??)

(fixed)

Edited 5/4/2014 13:20:10

I think taking rook is best, free rook > queen for rook.

1. ... bxa6 2. Nc6+ Ka8 3. Nxb4 Rxf6
2. Ne7+ Ka8 3. Qc6+ Qb7

Still, a weird puzzle...

(sry, i made an inversion with the chessboard in the post above.. will correct it)

better reaction for white on bxa6 (?):
1. ... bxa6
2. Qxa6 ...
3. Nd7+ (if Q on b6 -> Ka8 Nxb6+ ... Qxc8#) or Nc6+ (when Queen don't sacrifice himself with beating knight: Ka8 Qxc8+ Qb8 Nxb8 ... Ntoanywhere#)

Edited 5/4/2014 13:09:38

You really need to improve your notation :)

1. bxa6
2. Qxa7 Qb7 and if Nd7+ or Nc6+ just Ka8, seems harmless.

Yes :-)

(Another fault by me, corrected: Qxa7 -> Qxa6)

Qb7 is a good answer.

Edited 5/4/2014 13:13:02

Consider
bxa6
Nc6+ Ka8
Qe5 Qd6
Qe3
and black has some problems at a7
