Dale can i ask you why you choose unorthodox openings? it seems to me that you can achieve just as unorthodox positions through Gambits, Albin Counter Gambit, Froms Gambit, Falkbeer Counter etc etc.

Its almost not like I choose unorthodox openings although I arguably do.
Its just that I attempt to provide difficulties for my opponent and end up playing weird accidentally by attempting to provide those difficulties.

Same position, white to play and stalemate in two.

White to move and mate, WITHOUT MOVING HIS KING

Before a load of you come screaming that it's not possible, analyse the position first.

(and no, I don't mean stalemate)

I guess 1.Qd3 mate but not checkmate just mating with the king the lady and the king.

oops I see this is a real chess problem oops cancel my previous guess woops.

Looks like mate in one has metamorphisized into mate in 17.

Maybe this is now the fast learners thread.🙂
