This is a suitable puzzle for Easter by Sam Loyd titled
“Faith”. White to play and mate in three. I’ll put the solution at the bottom
of the post.
The club will be open over Spring Break for everyone who is
about then revert to the older half on 12th April. They’ll be Easter
treats for everyone and also certificates for all those who played 4 or more
games in the UK Chess Challenge.
Moving forward the club will continue to alternate between
the older and younger halves up to half-term week.
On Sunday 24nd April there is the latest EJCA
chess tournament in Colchester . Entry forms
are available via the club or at www.ejca.co.uk
For anyone who will be playing their first tournament we’ll do some preparation
down the club.
Congratulations to Olga who at 7 entered a mixed adult and
junior tournament this weekend. She managed to correctly record her games (a
requirement at these events but beyond some adult players) and score 2/5. This
meant she outscored her dad who was playing in one of the higher sections. When
we played over one of her wins she showed me her 4 step guide to the opening
which we’ll share down the club.
Best Wishes
Robin
Mate in 3: 1c6 Kd4
2Qc2 3Nf5#. If 1..d4 then 2 Nd5 and if then 2..c3 3QxB# or 2.. f4 3Nf6#. Also
symmetrical solutions with 1g6 etc.
