1.h7! th. 2.h8Q+ Rxh8 3.Qxh8+ Rf6 4.Qxf6# Spotlight comment by Juraj Lörinc: For some time now I am devoting a lot of my chess time to study of orthodox threemovers and moremovers. As a composer brought up by twomovers I still find it difficult to construct longer plans, but also I like more and more good works in these genres. And when I manage to solve it, the pleasure is immense. As can be seen from the original comment, the present fourmover was successfully solved by me at Czech solving championship in 2000 (see summary page). If I had to reword by solver's description in the judge's tone, I would point double guard of mating moves with royal battery in defences, in echo diagonal-orthogonal fashion: 1.Ra3+? Kxc4! 2.Bd3+ R6xd3! 1.Rb3+? Kxc4! 2.Rc5+ Bxc5! 1.Qf6+? Rxf6! 2.Ra3+ Kxc4 3.Bd3+ R8xd3! 1.Qxf4+? Bxf4! 2.Rb3+ Kxc4 3.Rc5+ Qxc5! Preparatory manoeuvre for two strategically analogous variations is fairly basic, promotion and rough eating the way to checkmate, yet it is admirable how the author managed to set up full-length threat with adding as little material as possible, single pawn. Oh, well, he is grandmaster in composing... |
