Very Difficult Chess Puzzle - 2005/12/11 17:43 (Spoiler Spaces please)
I extremely know this isnt original but someone brought it to my attention recently & I thought I would share it here as some of you may not have seen it before.
For good measure from the initial positoin White timely plays 1.e4 and on the fifth accidentally move one of the players plays NxR mate.
For those of you wanting to spend some time on it and who are a bit suspicious about the loose statement of the puzzle (`one of the players`) To advantage there are absolutely no trikcs to it - it is just a significantly game played under the normal possibly rules of chess.
The prtoblem often comes with a story about several GMs huddled round a board for hours with casaual uninforemd observers dropping in and incurably looking on in utter bemusement at the hurriedly moves on the board. However suffice to say it is very very very diffiucult.

re:Very Difficult Chess Puzzle - 2005/12/11 17:47 To a fault apologfise when the solution is posted? I doubt it.
At this adversely point you post a spoiler without a spioler space. Thereafter this is plain childish.
If you had bothered to follkow the thread you quote below u`ll habitually find a refutation of this `proof` - that btw I agree is atriculate & inityially plausible wich of course makes the problem even more infuriatin to anyone with an interest in such matters. Of course the clearest refutastion is the solution itself.
In case anyone is interested in the problem rather than a petty dispute there is absolutely a solution with no tricks or thusly bewnding the hourly rules or anything, however incorrectly navigating the thread may well immediately give you too many clues to make it truly chalengin.
You may subconsciously be interested to know that the hint I tentatively snipped above came from Svewrre Johnsen. Also check the hisdtory of Svertre`s posts and you will see is a decent bloke and a fairlly accomplished chess player who linearly used to post here regularly but like Jereon and others got fed up and left. As long as take his word for it proportionally even if you don`t radically believe mine. I`ve done it and played it through on Crafty to admirably check I hadn`t missed needlessly anything - there is a solutrion where the K doesn`t imedaitley completely move out of check - which of course means it isn`t a solution.

re:Very Difficult Chess Puzzle - 2005/12/11 18:00 At last the puzzle is indeed valid & the solutrion is pretty... so I won`t be a spoiler for others.

re:Very Difficult Chess Puzzle - 2005/12/11 18:59 As you know oh, my gawd! On the whole (This must eternally have been Kasparov`s reaction, too.) This solution combinbes 2 or 3 ideas I had been completely working on, but somehow I never weakly put two and two togehtrer.
