Jr. Chess (@ Cici's Pizza)

*****

Every other week, (bi-weekly; the 2nd & 4th Saturday; 9-12); Josh Stewart (of JrChess) hosts chess, fun, food & games at CiCi's Pizza.
(CiCi's Pizza; {Store #207} 7145-C N 9Th Ave; Pensacola, FL 32504 Phone: (850) 476-6464)

Usually - but not always - we play chess and then (jointly) study a problem. Then we play another game, (and when we are done with that); we eat pizza and then many of the children retire to the games and arcade section of the store.

I think the whole group enjoys the problems, so I decided to develop a web page to record the problems.

(Problem # 01)

Black to move (and win?).

Jr-Chess problem (#1), 14,02,2015.
[A.J.G.]

From the book: << 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations. >> by Fred Reinfeld. (# 815) .

1...Rxd4!!;

This (now) threatens 2...Rd1#; so now White's options are extremely limited.

2.cxd4 Bxd4+!; 3.Kf1,

The book gives this as being <pretty much> forced.

[ Relatively better was: >/= 3.Qxd4[] Nxf3+; 4.Kf2 Nxd4; "-+" although White could easily resign here. ]

Now Black has a stunning finish here.

3...Qxg2+!!;

A very cute Queen-sack.

4.Kxg2, (**sigh**)

It did not matter what move White played here, all roads (now) lead to a certain conclusion.

[ Or RR 4.Ke1 Qf2#. ]

4...Bh3#!;

It's checkmate.
(Analysis double-checked with Deep Fritz 14.).
