A mixture of stuff and ideas I had laying about for future blogs.
I’m having a clear out before the World Championship Match.

The usual three puzzles.


Black to play. What would you do?


White to play and checkmate in four moves.

This next one has a rather amusing back story.

Mate in two. The first move in these composed problems is never a check.

A made up game by Jonathan Mestel which appeared in a book.
I found an RHP game with the same fairly unique mating pattern.
Turns out this game is quite good and instructive so I noted it up.
