Yep, that's the position. Black's threat of Be5 and Rh8# is so strong that it virtually forces the solution...

Btw, what browsers are u guys using since you can't see the diagram?? It works perfectly for me with FireFox - so could it be Explorer?


I use Explorer (nothing else available here and I don't feel like downloading something and then fixing all the problems muself) and had no problem.

Right, think I've got it now. Cute - nice tempo moves at the beginning and in the middle. And at the end I suppose, although fairly obvious.

I'm too lazy to work this out. Is there any more to it than 1 Kg7 Be5 2 b4 resigns?

As I can both see the black king and bishop I guess this is the position:



White to move and win...

Is it my browser? I can't see the Black king.


Interesting....I can see the Black King on e4 in mine......but I can't see a Black bishop anywhere.

Just came across a cute little study by Reti on a swedish club page. White to move & win. Enjoy! 
(Btw, it's even possible to move the pieces in the diagram, and if you find the right move black replies automatically...)
