One from the "me" draw

ChessPosition (see diagram) White to play and win in half a move. You can tell it's mine because it's cluttered and still has unnecessary pieces left off as remnants from previous ideas XD

Nice!

White must take away black pawn on d5. :)

What do you mean "White to play and win in half a move" ??


Kieran Child    (2007-05-26 16:46:20)
Yup.

To Thibault, I mean the first half of a move has already been played. EG, you could move either knight one square in a direction, claiming it's already been move slightly from a previous position. You couldn't play B8=N as that would be one complete move. Congrats to Ilmars for getting it correct.
