Our third problem, though “only” a
mate in two, proved difficult for most and
impossible for some. However, this is the whole
point! These compositions are supposed to be
a challenge, and solving them should give the
reader real satisfaction.

White mates in two. ORGAN
PIPE.
1st Prize, Maggar Sakkelet, 1974.
1.Kg1! (Lloyd’s
Organ Pipe theme doubled) when mate next move
is impossible to stop!
As is so common, the answer turned out to be the most innocuous looking, counter
intuitive move!
