Jonathan Edwards Wrote:Geoff (Chandler) once gave a few of us a puzzle/teaser: opponent's king on d4 (or any central square), with your king on a1 (or any irrelevant square)... place 2 rooks and a knight on the board so that it's checkmate. It took Clément over 5 minutes to solve and others, including myself, gave up.
I gave the same puzzle to Matilda at Sciennes once. It took her less than 1 minute. Chess is a funny game! =
You are mistaken, I also gave up.
