That one (which was posted 17 March 2014), I've come to realize, was cooked. Here's another line that works for that one:<br /><br />1 Bxg7 (2 Bxc3#) Ra2 2 Qc1#<br /><br />However, if one were to replace the white pawn at f7 with a black pawn at d7, then the above line becomes the only solution. (Also, the white unit at c7 doesn't need to be a rook for it to work this way, as its purpose is to prevent Black from directly guarding the c3-pawn.)jrh150482https://www.blogger.com/profile/10502831081969372299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38193052.post-74185768276091202202014-07-17T09:38:19.843-03:002014-07-17T09:38:19.843-03:00I reveal nothing at this time.
