Subject: A doubly aristocratic chess problem
|
This is my third chess compostion. I would be most grateful if you
could comment it from a technical point of view, even though I am just
learning and doing it for fun.
I have composed what I call a doubly aristocratic problem because: (a)
there are no pawns (I have done my homework and I have read something
about chess problems) and (b) there are eight pieces, all of them
essential, but no two in a row, since I don't think aristocrats like
queueing up in front of the theater(are there other problems with such
a feature?).
5B2/3b4/6K1/1N6/4k3/n7/7R/2Q5
The stipulation is simple: white to play and mate in three moves.
There are too many checks and a dual in the solution, but I don't think
it's easy to solve, at least for me (but I am not a chess player or
chess problem solver so I cannot evaluate the difficulty, your
experience is needed).
