Next i want to show a study of myself.


And what a lovely likeness it is too!  Cool

I really enjoyed the last puzzle even though I didn't get it despite knowing that the key lay in a stalemate position.

I look forward to banging my head against this one too!

This study is breaking my head...

Mine is already broken, therefore I had to look up the solution in my bookshelf. But (!) knowing the solution and looking at the diagram I still find it unbelievable. I dont think an average chess brain has a chance to solve this, at least my (well I think not so bad) chess brain overheated.

incredible study; small hint: ask yourself, where to put the black queen to stalemate the white king.

Ok, 

So far I'm stuck even for candidate moves.  I'm guessing that the main theme will be a stalemate (only because I have a vague recollection of this), but I don't see how to force black to take or block the pawn.  I hope you give us some time to work on this one, Gunter!  

I still love these puzzles, with the one caveat that some of them don't feel particularly realistic.

Thanks for providing these!

(Sorry, like Polonius, I am too longwinded to be good at poetry.)

NB: The only modification was grammatical.

That´s  right Tony. Maybe you should write the Chesspoetrybook next?

Huh Oh I missed the pin - one should take a serious look first before posting a rubbish poem  Grin

Maybe that should be:
"when knight and rook is gone
the king will be alone"
except that the pawn is still there! Smiley

In 1921
when queen and rook is gone
the knight will be alone
the position cant be won
