The solution to the problem in Diagram A1 below is quite simple, but it and many similar positions can slip by unnoticed when full concentration is not on the game.
10-14, 15-24, 14-18, 22-15, 5-9, 13-6, 1-28 forms position in Diagram A2, 29-25, 28-32, 25-21, 32-27, 21-17, 27-23, 17-13, 3-7, 13-9, 7-11, 9-6, 11-15, 6-2, 15-19, 2-6, 23-18, 6-9, 18-22, 9-5, 22-17, 5-1, 17-14, 1-5, 19-23, 5-1, 23-27,1-5, 27-31, 5-1, 31-27, 1-5, 27-23, 5-1, 23-19, 1-5, 19-15, 5-1, 14-10, 1-5, 10-6, 5-1, 15-10, 1-5, 6-1, 5-9, 1-5, 9-13, 10-14, 13-9, 14-18, 9-6, 18-15, 30-25, 15-18 forms position in Diagram A3, 6-10, 5-1, 25-21, 1-5, 10-6, 18-15, 21-17, 5-1, 6-9, 15-18, 17-13, 18-22, 9-14, 1-6, 14-17, 22-18, 17-21, 18-14, 21-25 forms position in Diagram A4, 6-10, 25-21, 10-15, 21-25, 15-18, 25-21, 18-22, 21-17 Red Wins
RED TO MOVE AND WIN
|
Diagram A1 - "Red" to move and win
|
Diagram A2 "White" to move which gives "Red " "1st Pos"
|
|
Diagram A3 - Red must not allow the "White" piece to gain the "King Row" nor the "White" King to gain "White's" Double Cnr.
|
Diagram A4 - The King on square 6 must now move to square 10, and proceed to pin the "White" King.
