| Best Move Contest 44,
diagram 9. |
Put
the white king on d1 (not e1). The solution as given in the
book is correct. With the king on e1, black wins: 1.Ra8 Kd3 2.Rd8+ Kc2 -+ 1.Kd1 Kd3 -+ 1.Ra3 c3 2.Ra8 Ra8 Kd3 3.Rd8 Kc2 -+ 2.Kd1 Kd3 -+ |
| Best Move Contest 71, diagram 7. |
Put the black king on f8 (not g8). With the king on g8, 1.Qg3 is still the correct move, with play similar to the variations given. |
| Best Move Contest 99, question 10. |
Change the question to: What is the most pieces on the board (without any pawns) so that it is impossible for either side to checkmate? If pawns are allowed, the answer is much larger (28). |
| page 146, solution
19-10. |
Change
the answer to: pawn (Also the king and rook if you count the
castling move!) |
| page 197, solution
68-10. |
Change the answer
to: 6 when one check is by a pawn (For example, with white Re1 e3 vs. black Ke5 d4, after the move 1.exd4+.) |
