Otsikko: Re: Solution to Whisperz' BN vs. K

I am unquestionably thankful for your effort in putting out these solutions, Ed, and it will give me a good workout to study them in detail. In the interest of learning better chess, this is an exercise that can go a long way to filling a void in a student's tactical skill: the proper handling of Bishop and Knight, and more generally, the proper handling of two pieces of different powers.

While I delight in the prospect of gaining more proficiency on the board, it comes as a curious disappointment that I have found an obvious error in your move list. In the solution you have provided for Whisperz' entry, there is the following: 12.Bg6 is followed by 13.Kh6, and then 14.Kg6(*?*). This is impossible, because the King is moving to a square occupied by his own Bishop.

I trust this is an oversight and that you will soon locate the source of the error and fix it, for we are depending on you to get it right, eventually. That is, we can't rely on computer moves that would not win in real life games. /Fx/
