RE: Chess problem 37 / Schachaufgabe 37

Rather good! I write it down as an overseeable 'move chain'. :)

  1. Rxh5 gxh5
  2. Bh6 Nf1
  3. b5 Ng3 (3. e4 or 3. c5 work as well: the idea counts!)
  4. e4 h4
  5. c5! dxc5 (Other black moves lose as well, just try it out.)
  6. b6 cxb6
  7. d6 Nh5
  8. d7 And white wins, but nevertheless black can extend the game a little bit by playing the useless 8. ... Nf4+.
    This possibility to play 8. ... Nf4+ is the reason why neither 3. e4 nor 3. c5 nor 3. b5 is the fastest way to win.

What is the fastest way to win as white after

  1. Rxh5 gxh5
  2. Bh6 Nf1
    ??? :-)

    Okey, then 3. h4 in order to prevent black playing h4 himself; with that move the black knight cannot go to h5 any longer and is stuck in the corner. That should be the right idea, right?
